BLACK MOUNTAIN COLLEGE CONCERT
On March 11, 1787, between the finished
" Figaro" and the not yet gegun ftDon Giovannill WOLFGANG AW.! ADEUS MOZAR'I
( 1756- 1791) wrote down an unusual piece for
piano, unusual in its content as in its
form, the RONDO IN A MINOR FOR PIANO
( No 511 in Ritter von Koechel's comp~ ete
catalogue of Mozart's works)
played by Frederic Cohen
From the tragic mood of this rondo's
last page it is a short way to the
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN ( 1770- 1827) of the year 1802. Following the advice
of his physician Dr. Schmidt to spare
his hearing as much as possible
Beethoven moved to the village of
Heiligenstadt, near Vienna. Ferdinand
Ries, his piano pupi1 during 1802 reports:
lIHe lived much in the country whither I
went often to take a lesson from him.
At times, after breakfast he would say
lftet us take a short walk. 1f We went and
frequently did not return till 3 or 4
o'clock, after having made some meal in
some village. On one of these wanderings
Beethoven gave me the first'striking
proof of his loss of hearing, concern-ing
which St. von Breuning had already
spoken to me. I called his attention
to a shePxnd who was piping very agreeably
in the woods on a flute made of a twig
of elder. For half an hour Beethoven
could hear nothing, and though I assured
him that it was the same with me ( which
was not the case), he beoame extremely
~ uiet and morose. Vfuen occasionally he
seemed to be merry it was generally to
the extreme of " boisterousness; but this
happened seldom.; 1
At the end of this country stay in the
dark hour of realization that his affliction
was incurable Beethoven
wrote his will-- .
read by Kenneth Kurtz THE HEILIGENSTAEDTER TESTAMENT
Notwithstanding this deep crisis
Beethoven composed during 180a among
other works his second symphony, the
Erotica variations for piano, three
piano sonatas Ope 31 and three piano
and violin sonatas op; 30, dedicated
to Csar Alexander I of Russia, the
second of which concludes this program.
