divertimentoEighteenth-century chamber music genre consisting of several movements, often of a light and entertaining nature, for strings, winds, or both. Though the name was applied (c. 1750–1800) to a confusingly varied range of works, it almost always referred to pieces with a single instrument to a part; this could include string quartets and even keyboard sonatas. |

A soloist for NYCB from 1950-1960, Tobias created roles in Balanchine's Agon, The Nutcracker, and Divertimento No. Haydn left us a charming Divertimento titled Il maestro e lo scolare (The Master and the Student) for piano four-hands. This time, in addition to Mozart's Divertimento and Benjamin Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings, Davenny Wyner offered a Chinese composition, Romance and Dance for two violins and string orchestra. |
