Join us at the Neilson Hays Library for two very special nights this September filled with chamber music as the accomplished Pro Musica Trio will perform one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s noblest works - Divertimento in E-Flat Major, K. 563.

Mozart’s Divertimento is entertainment music that presents a mixture of movements in sonata form and dance-like movements, especially minuets. It has six movements and a duration of about fifty minutes, thus exceeding the standard trio length.

Musically, it is far from pure entertainment. The first two movements in particular, written in sonata form, are among the most sonorous and masterful examples of chamber music ever written. The first is an Allegro and the second a beautiful and lyrical Adagio, which appears less of a contrast. The four other movements are somewhat lighter. The third movement, a fiery and lively Minuet, is written in the manner of a Ländler, an Austrian peasant dance. The fourth movement is an air, a songlike Andante, consisting of a folk-music theme with four variations. The fifth movement is an Allegretto Minuet, starting with a courtly dance leading to two trios each in the style of a different cheerful Ländler. The sixth movement is a Rondo, marked Allegro, that ends with hornlike fanfares.

Alfred Einstein, a German-American musicologist, writes in Mozart: His Character, His Work that Divertimento "is a true chamber-music work, and grew to such large proportions only because it was intended to offer ... something special in the way of art, invention, and good spirits. ... Each instrument is primus inter pares, every note is significant, every note is a contribution to spiritual and sensuous fulfillment in sound." Einstein called Divertimento one of Mozart’s noblest works.
