Wiener Philharmoniker
Michael Tilson Thomas, Conductor
Emanuel Ax, Piano


Brahms
Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn op. 56a

Mozart
Klavierkzt. Nr. 14, Es-Dur, KV 449

Beethoven
Symphony No. 7 in A major, op. 92


Michael Tilson Thomas and pianist Emanuel Ax join the Vienna Philharmonic for the orchestra’s second concert this season – a programme filled with song and dance.
Wagner famously described Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’, and it’s hard to hear the breathless Scherzo or exuberant finale without becoming swept up in the work’s restless energy.
That energy also invigorates Brahms’s Variations, taking a theme once thought to be by Haydn and transforming it by turns into a graceful sicilienne and a swaying, syncopated dance.
For Mozart it is song that offers the inspiration for his dramatic Piano Concerto No. 14, with its arching melodies and almost operatic musical dialogues between soloist and orchestra.
