Sinfonia concertante

Adagio funebre molto espressivo

violon, alto et orchestre

My Sinfonia concertante with the tempo indication Adagio funebre molto espressivo is a type of funeral music commemorating the last day of Mozart’s life. I decided to use the exact instrumentation from Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante K. 364. I began the composition with the self-imposed challenge of creating my own compositional architecture superimposed on an already existing framework. Due to the restraints of Mozart’s instrumentation I was able to focus entirely on the construction of my funeral music, in the spirit of the compositional process customary among composers of the 18th century. Mozart and his contemporaries always experimented within prescribed form and instrumentation. Christian Jost
