Mozart to Haydn: the Trumpet\u2019s Voice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Lecture-Concert – May 24, 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The third and last event of the Festival will be held on Sunday, May 24, 2026<\/strong>, at 5:00 pm<\/strong>, featuring a lecture-concert titled\u00a0“Mozart to Haydn: the Trumpet\u2019s Voice<\/strong>“<\/strong>, performed by the Musicians of Officina Filarmonica<\/strong>, under the musical direction of Maestro Rocco Sbardella<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lecture-concert is dedicated to the Concerto in E-flat major, Hob:VIIe:1<\/em> by Franz Joseph Haydn, composed in 1796, one of the most important and best-known works in the trumpet repertoire.

A wind instrument with a bright and brilliant timbre, the trumpet<\/strong> has long been associated with a solemn and festive character. With this concerto, Haydn significantly expands its expressive possibilities, thanks also to the technical innovations introduced in the instrument at the time (the keyed trumpet), which allowed for greater agility and a wider range of notes.

The virtuosity of the soloist<\/strong> in Haydn\u2019s concerto is contrasted with the refined dialogue of the strings in Mozart\u2019s Divertimento No. 3 in F major, K138<\/em>, written only twenty years earlier, in which the writing for strings alone privileges an internal balance between the parts<\/strong>: no instrument stands out permanently above the others, creating a sense of natural interplay between the voices.

Through the comparison between the two works, it is possible to gain insight into key aspects of the evolution of musical styles at the end of the 18th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
