The Clemson Orchestra did a wonderful job of doing this piece; I really enjoyed it. Because it was the first piece played‚ my ears were perked and I was listening very intently.

Thus‚ when considering the Enlightenment period‚ it is a particularly interesting to observe how the work of “classical” composers like Mozart embodied the idea of progress through reason‚ while criticizing existing social and political institutions. Both in his instrumental work‚ like Sonata No. 16 in C‚ and in his operas‚ such as The Marriage of Figaro‚ Mozart used forms and lyrics that captured the essence of the Enlightenment.
