The Music

Mozart’s Gran Partita is a masterpiece of colour and contrast, written for an opulent ensemble of 13 wind instruments. The music is warm, rich, and full of life, balancing grandeur with playfulness. At its heart lies the famous Adagio, one of Mozart’s most sublime and recognisable movements—a hushed, hypnotic melody that seems to suspend time. Around it, the piece is full of dazzling contrasts: lively Minuets brimming with elegance, intricate woodwind exchanges that feel almost conversational, and a spirited finale bursting with energy. With its exquisite craftsmanship and sheer expressive range, the Gran Partita is a feast for the ears.
