​

In my Sinfonia amorosa e giocosa  I take up the supposedly light, relaxed tone of Mozart's early symphonies and reinterpret it in my own way. Similar to Mozart, the light can suddenly turn into something dark. Humor and passion, cheerfulness and seriousness are shown as two sides of the same game.

Anno Schreier, 2020
