About the Programme

Two composers, three famous and special works. The name Jupiter was given to the symphony by posterity, as Mozart could not even hear this masterpiece, which was also his last symphony. Posterity, however, saw such perfection in it that the piece was compared to the Roman supreme god, Jupiter. The piano concerto for left hand was created at the request of a pianist who had lost one of his arms in the First World War. The piece exemplifies that one hand was enough for virtuosity. The tune and rhythm of Bolero is probably well known even to the audience who do not frequently visit concerts.
