Musical double
Johann Christian Bach's Symphony in D major op. 18/3 is one of the most
beautiful compositions ever written for double orchestra. Johann
Christian Bach exerted a strong influence on the compositional work of
his friend Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, among others. Although there is no
double orchestra, Mozart's brilliant E flat major Concerto for two
pianos and orchestra, written around the same time as Bach's D major
Symphony, offers a double dialog between the solo instruments. The solo
part is played by the brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen, one of the most
sought-after piano duos. Only two of Franz Schubert's symphonies are in a
minor key. In addition to the »Unfinished«, this is the »tragic«
Fourth, which Antonín Dvořák praised with the words: »One is astonished
that such a young man had the strength to express himself with such
profound pathos.«
