Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was many things. A bit of all things. There is, among others, a lively, playful, jaunty Mozart: he is the Mozart of childhood, of early youth, of the time of travels in Italy, but also the Mozart of the Da Ponte trilogy, who in many moments knows how to keep the same smile . This serenity of writing goes well with Ravel, a master of harmonic impressions and suggestions, but also the author of beautiful and relaxed melodies, such as the one that opens the famous "Pavane pour une infante defunte". The program closes with a fantasy about "Carmen", a sort of female Don Giovanni from the late XNUMXth century, a character who, like Mozart's model, prefers death rather than giving up her lifestyle.

Dimitri Shostakovich was born a subject of the tsar into a family of leftist intellectuals. He trained as a musician in the years following the October Revolution and which saw the outbreak of civil war. He asserted himself as a composer during an ideological battle between supporters of opposing visions of what had to be done to create the new Soviet music. Accused of deviationism on Pravda, he was later rehabilitated and, during the war, became the musical spokesman of the armed nation. He is accused again, together with many colleagues and rehabilitated again. He is then awarded the highest honors of state. He joined the Communist Party only at the age of 44 and became a prominent element in the officialdom of the regime. He dies at the age of 69 after a long illness and is exalted in death as the most perfect representative in music of Soviet homo novus. Difficult to find a more turbulent life than this, even more difficult to interpret it.
The entertainment events in the small museums with free admission will continue until Sunday 26 March with a calendar of concerts organized in collaboration with the RomaTre Orchestra and MuSa Classica and EtnoMuSa (Sapienza University of Rome).
