"The magnificent Sinfonia concertante for violin, viola, and orchestra in E flat major, K. 364, is Mozart's only surviving complete work of this type, a genre that incorporates elements of both the symphony and concerto. Generally scored for two or more solo instruments and orchestra, the sinfonia concertante was particularly popular in Paris in the eighteenth century. It was there, in fact, that Mozart composed such a work in 1778 for four outstanding wind soloists from the Mannheim orchestra who were also then in the French capital; that work, however, is now known only in a spurious nineteenthth-century edition.
During this period Mozart also began two other works in the sinfonia concertante genre, one for violin and piano in D major (1778), and another for violin, viola and cello in A major, K. 320e (ca. 1779-1780), neither of which progressed beyond the first 130 or so measures before the composer set it aside. The present work may be a replacement for the aborted D major work. It was composed in Salzburg during the summer or fall of 1779, about the same time as that work. In both works, Mozart calls for a higher tuning than is usual for the viola; his purpose in so doing was undoubtedly to give the instrument a brighter sound to avoid being overshadowed by its more penetrating violin companion.
The soloists for whom the Sinfonia concertante was composed are not known, but they may have been Antonio Brunetti, the leader of the Salzburg court orchestra, and the violinist Joseph Hafender. The work is in three movements: Allegro maestoso, Andante and Rondo. The orchestra includes two oboes, two horns, an optional pair of bassoons, and strings. The work is notable for its warm expansiveness; the Andante is particularly delectable with its ravishing dialogue between the two soloists. The scoring is unusually full and rich; Mozart's frequent divisi writing for the violas produces textures that presage the sumptuous writing in Idomeneo, ré di Creta (1781), the opera seria composed for Munich less than a year later."

What a gem of a performance! One of the best. The description does not say if Power tuned his viola up a semitone or not. His instrument has a beautiful but dark tone that’s a great contrast to the violin’s brighter tone quality. Some sources claim that sharp tuning is not common today when the piece is played on modern violas.
He is playing it in normal tuning 😊
That's what I thought based on the tone quality. Not being a string player, I could not tell from his fingering. How do you know it's normal tuning?
@@dougrife8827 I’m a violist, so I looked at his use of open strings and harmonics. For example he used a harmonic at one point at then I just checked if that corresponded to my own harmonic. If he had played scordatura it would not have been the same note. :-)
It might be easier to look for his use of open strings than harmonics. If you then have the part or know which note it is you can check.

Die beiden spielen wunderschön, so innig, wie dieser musikalische Dialog es verlangt. Aber wie kann man dabei in der Körpersprache genau das Gegenteil ausdrücken? Wie kann der Bratscher sich von der Geigerin wegwenden, was vollkommen im Gegensatz zur Musik steht? Das finde ich sehr störend. Seine Bratschengruppe kommt bestimmt auch ohne seine Betreuung klar.

Why is he turning on his back to the lady?
Because he ain’t no simp!!
Also beautiful performance!!
Only when he has a sole viola section as he guides the orchestra at that stage (no conductor)
The music is written as a dialogue. As a very tender dialogue! So the two soloists have to correspond with each other!
