Peng
Gong,
a
12-year-old
piano
prodigy,
performs
Mozart's
beautiful Concerto
No.
20
in
D
Minor.
He
is
the
winner
of
the
Juilliard
School's
2003-2004
Pre-college
Mozart
Piano
Concerto
Competition.
The
Orchestra
also
performs
two
pieces
by
Beethoven. His Egmont music
was
written
on
commission
in
1810
to
accompany
Goethe's
drama
about
a
young
count
named
Egmont. It
was
common
in
the
nineteenth
century
to
write
such "musique
de
scene." A
far
bigger
challenge,
it
seems,
was
from
a
Hungarian
prince
to
compose
a
mass
in
honor
of
his
wife.
The
result
was Mass,
op.
86,
in
C
Major.
Although
it
didn’t
find
favor
in
its
day,
audiences
today
find
a
satisfying
unity
in
the
mass
from
the
central Christe
eleison of
the
mass
to
the
joyous
choral
outbursts
in
the Gloria,
from
the
tranquil
and
reverent Sanctus,
in
A
Major,
to
the
prayerful Agnus
Dei.
