​If one were to piece together the most substantial 70 minutes of the literature for piano and wind quintet into a single program, you would be hard pressed to find a more iconic group of works. In Fun, Mockery, and Schadenfreude, Berlin Counterpoint uses the compositions of Johann Strauss and Richard Strauss to bookend a program of works that are not only milestones in their respective genres, but also extravagant, cheeky, and thoroughly idiosyncratic pieces.
