EDE TERÉNYI: TRIBUTE FOR MOZART (2004) - CONCERT FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA (CHORD – PERCUSSION)

Summary/Abstract: The genesis of the piece of art is therefore connected to the appeal of the Radio Broadcasting from Bucharest addressed to master Ede Terényi from Cluj-Napoca, to compose a violin concert entitled Tribute for Mozart, with the occasion of celebrating the 250th year from the birth of the composer. The concert ought to be recorded during the last days of December 2004 with a rendition of high standard: the violinist Alexandru Tomescu accompanied by the Radio orchestra and led by the Master Horia Andreescu. At first sight, the title Tribute for Mozart might seem a little surprising for a composer of our days, yet the generous personality of the composer Eduárd Terényi has received this call as a challenge, a gesture to render homage to the genius of Mozart by a brother distanced a quarter millennium time far from him. The bonds between Mozart and Terényi are connected to the esoteric; there is a spiritual duality materialized by this concert. During his composing career there have been several artists from different ages that the master felt close to, like Vivaldi, Händel or Bakfark, affinities materialized by works as the Vivaldiana, Händeliana or the Bakfark Symphony; yet towards Mozart, Terényi nourished admiration and fear. Now, the duty to create a concert in Mozart’s spirit has felt back upon the composer from the beginning of the 21st century: it is not Terényi’s intention to add a new concert to those, which Mozart has composed, but one that Mozart would have composed if he had lived in our space and time.
