Mozart vs. Vogler: Rivals in Mannheim with Anders Muskens | EMV

This program presents a combination of works for fortepiano by both Mozart and Georg Joseph Vogler (1749-1814): two famous composers in their day who had a sort of rivalry (atleast in Mozart’s eyes) when they met in Mannheim in 1777. As a notable member of the “Mannheimer Schule,” Vogler was an extremely innovative composer, music theorist, important teacher, and famous performer on the keyboard (organ, harpsichord, fortepiano, clavichord) in his day.
