The rubric "Smithsonian" has become known as a guarantee of authenticity. Nonetheless, this enterprising project should not be viewed primarily as a scholastic exercise. The musical instruments belong to the Smithsonian's valuable collection of antiques and authenticated facsimiles. Of greater importance, they have been entrusted to gifted musicians who are eminently qualified to apply specialist knowledge of the techniques and artistry prevalent in the eighteenth century. We are privileged to hear Mozart's music played in as close a manner as possible to that which the maestro heard and performed himself. The 64-page booklet is researched and written by Smithson Quartet cellist Kenneth Slowik.
