Beethoven in the Rococo Hall: An Evening Full of Historical Sound Colors

With GRAND SONATE PATHÉTIQUE, the German Mozart Society in Augsburg presents a rare and sonically compelling program between Beethoven, Haydn, and the fascinating world of wind music. In the Rococo Hall of the Government of Swabia, historical wind instruments will meet the fortepiano of Christoph Hammer on November 20, 2026. This promises a concert experience with fine dynamics, brilliant acoustics, and a live atmosphere that makes classical music directly and sensually tangible.

A Program with Depth and Surprise Effect

At the center is Beethoven's famous Piano Sonata op. 13, which was adapted for a large wind ensemble with nine instruments during the composer's lifetime. This version will be publicly performed for the first time and contrasted with the original version for fortepiano. The program is complemented by arrangements from Haydn's Seasons. The result is a musical juxtaposition that emphasizes orchestration, sound balance, and historical performance practice.

Barucco Wind Music: Original Sound with Profile

Barucco is one of the prominent original sound ensembles in Austrian music life and continuously develops programs for wind music ensemble as a chamber music consort. The work with historical instruments, precision in ensemble playing, and the elegant approach to early classical sound languages shape the character of this evening. In collaboration with Christoph Hammer, a dialogue emerges between the colors of the wind instruments and the fortepiano, making the historical material feel alive rather than museum-like.
