All four of Mozart's Flute Quartets. The first three were composed 1777−78 while in Mannheim and the fourth one a decade later. The Mannheim quartets were commissioned by a rich amateur player, they all count as examples of refined chamber music conceived for skilled amateur players and domestic consumption. While hardly as complex a showcase of Mozart's compositional skills as many of his string quartets, all four quartets abounding in gentle wit and good humour, and written not as mini-concertos for flute and string trio but as chamber music for equal partners.

Erwin Schulhoff

Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum

Introducing the Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff
Sigurjón Ólafsson Museum
the weekend 23^rd and 24^th of July 2022

"Erwin Schulhoff (1894 − 1942) was a prolific and multi-faceted creative figure whose work embraced a full panoply of styles and influences. Like Kafka and Mahler, a German Jew in a Czech cultural milieu, the composer took full advantage of his “outsider looking in” status to forge a compelling musical personality. One of the earliest and most successful exponents of art music drawing on jazz, Schulhoff refracts multiple approaches of his time, from Dada to Expressionism, and from a distanced self-mockery to the stolid seriousness of Socialist Realism."

Review
"... contained some of the most adventurous and abstract music of Dark Music Days.... and expressive journey that showcased Sigurjónsdóttir’s mastery of the extreme upper register.... The Sorceress, a multi-movement work written for Sigurjónsdóttir, brought the program into furious overdrive.."
