During both editions of the concert entitled \u201cViolin and\u2026 the Hen\u201d in the AMU Concert Hall (held on the 18th and the 19th of February) we are going to listen to the music of Sergei Prokofiev and Joseph Haydn. The concert soloist will be the violinist Guy Braunstein, the youngest concertmaster in the history of the Berliner Philharmoniker (2000-2013), and the Poznan Philharmonic Orchestra will be led by Ariel Zuckermann.<\/p>\n

\u2018I wrote the first movement of the Violin Concerto No. 2 in Paris, the second \u2013 in Voronezh. I completed the orchestration in Baku, and the first performance took place in Madrid\u2019 – that\u2019s what Sergei Prokofiev wrote about the origin of his Violin Concerto No. 2. The work was composed in 1953 for a French virtuoso Robert So\u00ebtens (with whom the author often performed) and the same year, on the 1st of December, the premiere was held. With Robert So\u00ebtens, naturally, as the soloist \u2013 he was an active promoter of the piece for many years and presented it as the first violinist in numerous countries. 37 years after the Madrid premiere he performed it for the first time in South Africa. The violinist was 75 years old at that time, however he still had\u2026 twenty years of an artistic career before him, as he passed three months before his 100th birthday.<\/p>\n

Symphony No. 83 in G minor \u2018The Hen\u2019 is the second of the cycle of six Paris Symphonies (No. 82-87) by Joseph Haydn, which were commissioned by the Paris Music Society, Le Concert de la Loge Olympique. The piece, like many other works by Haydn, received its nickname thanks to the listeners\u2019 imagination. This time the French discovered in the music the sound imitating\u2026 a cackling hen. Hence the popular name of the Symphony. It is worth checking whether the French were right\u2026<\/p>\n
