Laughter, mockery, murder, and love!

Viennese Classical opera was a major source of inspiration for all composers at the beginning of the 19th century. The characters, the gestures, the love triangles, the laughter, the mockery, the murder, and the love—everything had to find its way into the music and be interpreted through sound. In this program, Duo Hakkila–Rostamo explore the foundations of classical rhetoric and take a step closer to the sound world of the 18th century with the help of their period instruments: the seldom-heard fortepiano and a gut-strung cello set up in a classical manner.

In addition to Beethoven’s two epic early sonatas, we will also enjoy two Sweden premieres: Helene Liebmann’s Grande Sonate, built on a theme from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and Mozart’s lovely bassoon sonata, here performed for the first time on cello and piano.
