HIGHLIGHT
At age 19, Mozart composed his final Violin Concerto, encompassing the largest scale and structure among his concerto output, its melodic themes gushing with great inspiration. Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.4 (Italian), the work of a 24-year-old, still radiates Italian sunshine. Both works are creations of musical geniuses in their youthful prime, full of life and verve.
