MICHAEL SWAN: THE SCORE WILL FINALLY BE SETTLED >>>
Mozart versus Beethoven. One of the oldest rivalries in classical music. A battle that will resume Saturday, Nov. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 22 when the Northwest Sinfonietta and Tacoma Symphony Orchestra pit the two composers against each other at the "Mozart Meets Beethoven" concerts. Rosemary Ponnekanti of The News Tribune wrote a wonderful preview piece on it today.
I dove a bit deeper with a Google search and found the two composers had battled it out for brief period of time from 1784 to 1786. Below were the results:
Greco-Roman Wrestling: MozartHistory shows the two classical musicians were evenly matched.
Saturday, Nov. 14 Maestro Christophe Chagnard of the Northwest Sinfonietta and Maestro Harvey Felder of the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra will lead the battle when the Northwest Sinfonietta performs Beethoven's Coriolan Overture, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25 and Don Giovanni Overture and Symphony No. 35 "Haffner" in the Rialto Theater.
Sunday, Nov. 22 the two maestros will settle the score once and for all when they lead the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro Overture, and Beethoven’s Emperor Piano Concerto and Symphony No. 5.
Expect an all out battle … in tuxedos.
