Music by Haydn, Gossec, Paisiello, Le Sueur, Rousseau.
This evening is inspired by the figure of Napoleon and the Treaty of Campoformio, signed with Austria in October 1797. This treaty marked the end of the First Italian Campaign and represented a significant turning point in European politics. Napoleon had a complex relationship with music, so much so that shortly after signing the treaty he wrote: "Of all the fine arts, music is the one that has the greatest influence on the emotions, and it is this influence that the legislator must most warmly encourage." The program, performed for the occasion by an exceptional quartet, features pieces written by composers connected to the Emperor: Gossec, the voice of the Revolution and later of the Empire; Paisiello, his favorite court composer; and Le Sueur, author of the Marche pour l'incoronation (March for the Coronation), a symbol of the imperial cult. Through these composers, music became a tool of Napoleonic propaganda, balancing Enlightenment ideals and imperial authority. In counterpoint, Haydn's Kaiserquartett (Emperor Quartet), built on the Austrian anthem, was composed in 1797 in honor of Emperor Francis II. A musical narrative woven through the folds of history, between art and power, in the heart of a transforming Europe.
