In selecting work for today's concert Mr. elling has run the gamut of orchestral literature or from a symphony by Mozart to Stravinsky's the soccer deprived on.

To begin on again but note we have first the overture to a lot you know generated by the Italian composer Giacchino Rossini although Rossini is almost unanimously considered to be one of the very greatest composers of the Italian operatic school of all of his early efforts were by no means crowned with success. He told Yana Enoggera it was only the second of his operas to achieve great success. It became the first of a trio of comic masterpieces. The other two were like Gazza Libre and the Barber of Seville. Only the Barber of Seville is now produced with any degree of regularity. Italian in Algeria produced in Venice in 1813 demonstrates the composers Frank use of the spirit of Gatty as a main theme.

Seem overjoyed to retire Jonathan Now Jenny from today's broadcast of a regular subscription concert at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. I mean that's the $4 Toria Detroit L.A. musical director at the back of the orchestra. Only the applause of the audience. The Symphony Number Thirty nine and the flashing purple 543 by Mozart. The next work to be heard is a most unusual composition and for several reasons first of all it was rare in the 18th century for a composer to write a work without first being commissioned to do so or at least having in mind a chance of getting it performed. But apparently Mozart composed his last three symphonies of which the E flat is won. Neither on commission or within the possibility of an immediate performance. Of course it was always useful to have a work or two in hand but Mozart possessed such extreme facility that he
did not need delay buy a ready store of music in this way. Thus it would seem likely that the impulse to write these three last symphonies was simply the pressure of inspiration and the desire to satisfy the demands of his own genius by composing a trilogy of symphonic masterpieces. And masterpieces the symphonies are. Generally considered Mozart's greatest works in symphonic form and Mozart scholars unhesitatingly rank them as one of the supreme trilogies in all the history of art. In addition to the E-flat which we are about to hear the others all the G minor crackle 5:50 a.m. the C Major for full 551 which bears the subtitle Jupiter. Incredibly these three works were composed within the space of less than two months in the year seven hundred eighty eight the first being dated June 20th and the 3rd August 10th. The E-flat symphony as in form of months adagio Allegro andante the third movement Allegro is probably the most familiar of Mozart's orchestral minuets and the concluding Allegro a very lively and Tramaine movement
