ADMISSION: 16, 12, 10 € TICKETS
In spite of the fact that Johann Hugo Worzischek died very young (34), he was quite a respected person. He admired Mozart but inclined more to Beethoven’s music. In his sole Symphony in D Major we can find the Romantic traits adumbrating Franz Schubert. Hummel’s Trumpet Concerto is one of the most popular among trumpet concerti. He composed it in 1803 for the Viennese court trumpeter Anton Weidinger, who was instrumental in important innovations of his instrument. The concerto will be delivered by Juraj Bartoš, one of the most distinguished and versatile musicians in Slovakia of several decades. In the second part of the night a work by Štefan Németh-Šamorínsky will sound. He was an organist in St. Martin’s Cathedral; therefore he composed also Masses, among them the spectacular Bratislava Mass excels.
