Today it is impossible to argue that one music piece is more advanced in any way than another simply because it was composed later. Mozart did not write more advanced music than Bach, and Bartók did not supersede Beethoven. It is however hard to ignore the fact that only an earlier composer is able to influence a later one. Bach did not have the chance to consider Mozart, and Beethoven could not ponder upon Bartók. Did Mozart's divertimentos influence György Ránki's Divertimento? How did Mozart and Ránki entertain their audiences? Did you know that Vivaldi's concertos were originally written for and performed by members of a girl orphanage? How did they perform compared to today's young musicians? Who was the more rhapsodic composer, Franz Liszt or László Dubrovay? The Budapest Strings Chamber Orchestra's musical delicacies hold the answer to these questions and more.
