...before a full house at Sanders Theatre. The program, entiled "Works of W. A. Mozart," included the orchestral March in D, K. 335/1 (delightful in its naivete and ludicrous use of col legno), the Sonata for Violin and Piano in B flat, K. 454, and the magnificent Piano Concerto No. 25 in C, K. 503.
