The Places
The musical tour starts in Zürich and moves to the hilltop village of Regensberg. The farmland of Emmental is seen, with Lake Thun and the waterfalls of Lauterbrunnen. Still more impressive is the great Matterhorn and a tribute to mountaineers who have lost their lives there. Zermatt, a popular ski resort as well as a base for climbers, is also seen in the milder days of summer.
The Music
Music for the tour is taken from the first two of Mozart's violin concertos, written in Salzburg in 1773 and in 1775 respectively. Mozart composed his five violin concertos either for his own use or for the Italian violinist Antonio Brunetti, who was employed with Mozart in the musical establishment of the Prince-Archbishop in Salzburg.
