Salzburg Festival Blog 6 (28 July)
A morning spent studying new scores is followed by our first rehearsal with the Mozarteum Orchestra for our opening Mozart Matinee. It’s an interesting programme with the quirky and virtuosic Divertmento K131 and the great E flat major Symphony K543 framing two concert arias. The Horns are busy in the Divertimento – there are four of them and they have self-contained music in both of the Menuets. The flute solos in this Opus are scarily fast but delivered with panache by our principal (Ingrid Hasse).
A brief swim is followed by a quiet evening in Aigen.
