Mountainside is venturing beyond the Baroque!  The new era in composition, often dubbed “Rococo,” saw changes in music, with easier harmonies, multi-movement compositions, a focus on the orchestra, and the rise of the piano.  New stars emerge with well-known names: Josef Haydn and Wolfgang Mozart.  Bach’s sons, especially C.P.E Bach, played an important part in this new transitional music.  On the concert is his concerto for harpsichord and fortepiano, featuring soloists Marc Bellassai and Joseph Yungen.  Additional works will be one of Haydn’s early symphonies as well as his concerto for violin, with our favorite violin soloist, Cynthia Roberts. Enjoy this wonderful 18th-century “new music,” a first for Mountainside Baroque!
