Subj: [DR-L] Mozart Oboe quartet
Date: Tue, 23 May 2006 18:14:47 -0400
Thanks for all the intelligent and well-informed replies so far. Phil's
reply is one of the reasons (I believe) that Mozart is so
difficult--although many feel the music is easy--to perform.Has to be
spotless,clean,transparent,never out of tune(if possible),etc, Great demands
by a great composer.
I find myself beginning my re-preparation by studying a work I know well
slowly and seeking a reed which will try to fulfill these obligations.
Rgds,
Harold Emert

This reminds me of the time, 30 years ago, when I lent my LP of Gomberg
playing Britten Metamorphosis, Phantasy Quartet and Mozart Quartet to a
math professor at my High School who was a big Mozart fan. I was
curious what he would think of the Britten, but all I got was a
10-minute tirade about how all the players should be lined up and shot
for the "sloppiness" in their execution of the Mozart. He was quite
passionate on the subject, and it made a big, cautionary impression on
me. I confess, I enjoyed the Mozart interpretation, but I always think
of this fellow when I get a Mozart part to play and try to keep it
"clean" for his sake.
I never did hear what he thought of the Britten. Those pieces and that
performance were a great inspiration for me.

Dear DRList:
Am preparing in this year of Mozart,the wonderful Quartet for oboe and
string trio again. Have played this masterwork a number of times and my
chief references are recordings by Goosens, Holliger and Ray Still.
As I am always trying to üpdate"my act---if update is the correct
term--would appreciate any input on new recordings, new outlooks and /or
theories on the performance of this Mozart opus.
Best regards,
Harold Emert
