San Diego Symphony: Beethoven Concerto No. 3 and Symphony No. 4
Guest conductor Case Scaglione leads the San Diego Symphony in two concerts, featuring a duo of works by Beethoven, with pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. The symphony will also perform Stravinsky's fanciful, intricate and chaotic "Symphonies of Wind Instruments," the 1947 revision in which Stravinsky removed some of the more obscure instruments from the original. The piece was apparently dedicated to Stravinsky's mentor and primary influence, Debussy — though I just happened upon a little classical music gossip wherein Debussy referred to Stravinsky as "a spoiled child."
