This was because it was the concert with which his colleagues paid musical tribute to Eduardo Bernabéu, the late friend and solo clarinetist of the Balearic Islands Symphony Orchestra. This circumstance led to an even larger attendance than usual. The concert began with the<em>Opening</em> of <em>The Marriage of Figaro</em> by Mozart, while the tribute began right after, with the performance of <em>Clarinet Concerto K. 622 in A major, </em>Also by Mozart. This was the last complete piece written by the genius from Salzburg, which, like all those where the clarinet was the great protagonist, was dedicated to his friend and lodge companion, the virtuoso of the instrument, Anton Stadler, also known as "the miracle of Bohemia." He was the one who, together with Theodor Lotz, made the so-called <em>bass clarinet, </em>longer<em>, </em>of four added notes, thus completing up to four octaves. And it was with this model that Joan Enric Lluna displayed the talent and the multiple possibilities of such an important instrument in an orchestra, yet so relegated as a protagonist. In the first movement, we find it as a miscellany, which allows us to enjoy its entire varied and splendorous range of colors. Luna showed it to us with a precision and purity that even surprised us with such evident potential. The primordial moment came with the simple and wonderful<em> Adage, </em>of an emotion that could not have made the moment more beautiful. Luna acknowledged the applause with the interpretation of <em>Capriccio, </em>also for Mozart, also for Slater, also for Bernabéu.</p>]]></description>

One day the world will talk about him." A few years later, four to be exact, Beethoven began his composition apprenticeship with Franz Joseph Haydn, Mozart's "father, guide, and friend," shortly before the maestro left for London again. The circle closes with another circumstance: Austria, where Haydn and Beethoven met, naturally Haydn and Mozart also met, but it is also where Leopold Hager was born and began his career.</p>]]></description>
