Commissioned by Leopold-Mozart-Kuratorium Augsburg e.V. as partner of the Augsburg University in cooperation with the Mozartbüro of the City of Augsburg “Anthologies were important during Leopold Mozart's lifetime. All knowledge was to be collected and made available, and Mozart's 'Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule' (A Treatise on the Fundamental Principles of Violin Playing) is also to be regarded in this context. My 'Florilegium' (the Latin word for 'Anthology' – 'Blossom Collection') follows this tradition. I thus collected more or less loose 'blossoms': individual turns of phrase and gestures from Leopold Mozart's Violin Treatise, as well as from books that include the extended techniques of violin playing in use today. I attempted to organize this 'blossom collection' – in a double sense of word – during the course of the compositional process and to transfer them into my own language. Ultimately the idea was to create an album piece that would allow the sound of the violin to blossom in its various facets ... including prickly thorns!” (Johannes X. Schachtner).

Mozarts letzte Lebensjahre fallen in eine der aufregendsten Zeiten der europaischen Geschichte. Wien war mehr als jede andere europaische Metropole ein Brennpunkt, in dem die exponiertesten Positionen der rivalisierenden Machte in Staat und Kirche und deren Protagonisten aufeinander trafen. Diesem ideen- und geistesgeschichtlichen Umfeld war Mozart in einem Masse ausgeliefert, das wir uns heute kaum vorstellen konnen, und er hat als Mitglied zweier freidenkerischer Logen und in seinen Werken zu den aktuellen Ereignissen explizit Stellung bezogen. Der Autor hat in seiner Darstellung eine Vielzahl bislang unbekannter historischer Dokumente ausgewertet und zu den uberlieferten Daten aus Mozarts Biographie in Beziehung gebracht. Als Resultat dieser Recherche ergibt sich nicht nur ein ganzlich veranderter Blick auf die zahlreichen Geheimnisse von Leben und Werk (Begrabnis, letzte Opern), sondern auch ein vollig neues Bild des Komponisten als gesellschaftlich engagiertem Kunstler.

It is widely believed that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) wrote the Adagio in E major, K. 261 in or around 1776 as a replacement for the second movement of his Violin Concerto No. 5 in A, K. 219. The likely reason for the replacement is a complaint by Italian violinist Antonio Brunetti, recently brought to the Salzburg court orchestra by the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, Heironymus Colloredo, that the original movements was too artificial, according to a letter from Leopold Mozart. The Mozarts, finding Brunetti boorish and morally objectionable, also would have thought his complaint regarding the artificial second movement to confirm their worst opinions of Italian taste. Still, young Mozart wrote the replacement Adagio as requested, and its serene beauty in sonata form remains a fine example of his lyrical ability.
