In Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Fourth Violin concert (1775), the youthful energy and brio of the galant style suffuses with moments of ravishing expressiveness and emotional depth, as the nineteen-year-old composer’s artistic development reaches a first maturity. Ιn Richard Strauss’ Metamorphosen the idea of transformation is purely philosophical. It is widely believed that Strauss intended the work as a lament for the transformation of a great German culture into the darkness governing the twelve years of Nazi rule.
