22 Operas, 41 Symphonies, 27 Piano Concerti, 18 Piano Sonatas, 23 String Quartets, 36 Sonatas for piano and violin – all this and more created in just a short span of 35 years of life, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, born in Salzburg, continued to be prolific until the last year of his life in Vienna, when he produced some of his greatest works ‘The Magic Flute’, his Clarinet Concerto and the unfinished ‘Requiem’.
Mozart 36 follows his journey as a young composer from age 8 with the first of his Sonatas for piano and violin to the last in 1788, when he was living at the centre of the Viennese musical world as the city’s finest keyboard player and a hugely successful composer.

The fourth of this set, nicknamed ‘The Hunt’, features 4 string instruments in pursuit of one another. Can you hear which instrument is ‘hunting’ and which instrument is being ‘chased’ ?

Mozart’s String Quartet ‘The Hunt’ 1.30pm 4 Apr 2020 for ages 6-12 (50 mins)
In the animal kingdom, we often see the relationship of ‘predators’ and ‘preys’ at work. Predators have evolved successful hunting strategies over time. So have preys evolved successful strategies for escape over time. By delving into the animated and lively music of Mozart’s String Quartet KV 458 nicknamed ‘The Hunt’, we’ll discover parallels between the musical structure found in this music and the natural phenomenon animals experience on a daily basis in their world!
