Classical Music Playlist, January 16, 2024
In 1778 the harp was still an undeveloped instrument of amateurs and not found in orchestras and pairing it with flute was pretty much unheard of. But Mozart received a commission from a flutist Duke who wanted something to play with his harpist daughter, so Mozart rose to the challenge and composed a delightful piece that was unique for the time. Mozart’s only Concerto for Flute and Harp is today's Midday Masterpiece.
