Program Notes
Wir kuessen Ihnen tausendmal die Hènde (We Kiss your hands a thousand times) was commissioned by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra as part of a series of new works composed for the Orchestra's 1991 Mozart Bicentennial Festival. The title is a salutation with which Mozart usually closed his letters to his father, and the piece itself has something of the texture of a letter: topics are touched upon in varying degrees of detail, and connections between sections result more from free association than structural imperatives. The scoring focuses on three instruments that were arguably Mozart's favorites (at least in the late concerti)--fortepiano, clarinet, and horn--supported by a trio of muted violin, viola, and cello. --Stephen Hartke

Review
"...lasts only nine minutes, but carries a mighty emotional wallopÉIt achieves an arching line, exact lyric point and noble sentiments within its first minute, then maintains quiet, apparently inevitable progress through a meditative musical scenario thereafter... it could hardly be more loving, or effective. . ." --Daniel Cariaga, Los Angeles Times
