WHAT’S IN A NAME?
For neary a century Mozart’s 9th Piano Concerto has been called, “Jeunehomme.” Whoops! Teresa Brandt tells us that it has all been a big mistake and why.

CONCERT MANNERS
At COOF we tend to enjoy our music quietly and informally. Some people have suggested that we are a bit too informal, that music has always been serious subject. Australian music history expert Agnes Selby gives us a very different view.

BEETHOVEN’S FOURTH PIANO CONCERTO
Did he or didn’t he? Scholars rage over whether Beethoven wrote his Fourth Piano Concerto as a chamber piece.

COOF takes great pride in presenting this arrangement, only discovered 10 years ago.

For the purposes of our concert on April 15, he certainly did write it as a chamber piece. Theresa Brandt, who will be the soloist for that concert, offers a measured assessment.

• About...

  The Chamber Orchestra of Florida is dedicated to the concept that music is essential to human well-being. Music is present in all aspects of human life, from war and religion to opera and symphonic concerts. It has been used since the beginning of civilization to assist in the remembrance and telling of epic stories. Music expresses emotions and feelings that words alone cannot. Aldous Huxley said, "Music comes nearest, after silence, to expressing the inexpressible."
