JAVS Fall 1993

9

Events went smootWy due in part to people behind the scenes. Slowik's support staff was always in gear and effective. Many instrument makers, repairers and dealers, as well as music dealers and publishers supported the congress. Fineinstruments and publications were avail able at the exhibits. (This part ofeach congress is a gold mine of opportunity for those who seek it out-a chance to chat at length with professionals who have expertise in these fields.) The ~oncilium Musicum ofVienna gave the final concert. Christoph Angerer (the organizer of the Vienna Congress, 1992) and his father, Paul Angerer, led the group in works by Aufschnaiter, Hummel, Radalescu, Fuss,

Albrechtsberger and Paul Angerer. As an encore, the Angerers and Karl Waltl offered Mozart's Adagio, K. 356 arranged for three violas. The closing notes of the 1993 Congress were a present from Vienna, home of the 1992 Congress-Mozart's music performed by his countrymen on Viennese period instruments. This was a magic moment. Lisa L. Hirschmugl is an active teacher in the Chicago area. Her students range in agefrom threeyears to college age.
