You might think of chamber music as a laboratory of sonic
interactions, and our aim is to present great textural and
stylistic,variety...an extensive and eclectichenu of delights.
Come, listen, enjoy, and tell others of the riches of-live
performances of the wide gamut of chamber music's multiflavored tapestry in sound.

Program Notes
Mozart Trio in E flat

Jessie B. Coyle
"Oh if only we two had clarinets!" Mozart expressed in a letter to his father after
listing to the Mannheim orchesfra. Mozart's request would come true and not only
would it come Uue but he would become friends with one of the greatest clarinetists of
the tirne, Anton Stdler. |,Ib,zart would be one of the first composers to write
mastepieces for the clarinet includlrg the Clarinet Concerto (K. 622) and the Quintet
for Clarinet and Sfings in A maior (l( 581).
The Trb in E flat maj'or for darinet, viola, and piano (K 498) was composed in
1786 for one of iilozarfs prano stdents Franziska von Jacquin. Even thot4gh the story
is not prcven it is believed that Mozart wrote the Trio while bowling, thus gMng it its
name "Kegelstatf. Kegelstatt is loosely banslated to falling pins. The Trio was also
believed to be performed by Franziska (piano), Stadler (clarinet) and Mozart (viola).
