Reviews:
"...Variations on a Theme of Mozart, which opened the DSO's concert Thursday night, is a delight. Originally composed in 1993 for two pianos, orchestrated and expanded in 2001, it's witty, technically sophisticated and flashily scored... Dr. Liebermann works in a couple of nifty fugues, one busy and flashy, the other more lyrical. All told, it's quite a showpiece, 20 minute's worth, and music director Andrew Litton led a brilliant performance."
