He also knew that the audience would enjoy the light, clear, authentic music, which is why he called it the <em>Classical</em>. The four soloists envisioned for Mozart’s <em>Concertante</em> were completely enamoured with the work of the genius; unfortunately, the work took more than a century to premiere. The two masters, who were separated by over a hundred years, will now meet in one concert to showcase the similarities, differences, and various expressions of classicism.</p>
