經歷 21 年的沈潛淬鍊， NSO 國家交響樂團 以數位絃樂聲部首席領軍，隆重推出「 NSO 首 席絃樂團」，並於 2008 年 4 月 24 日在國家音樂廳 舉行創團首演。期以豐富的演奏經驗及絕佳的默 契、全新的演出理念以及最純粹的音響效果，展 現NSO音樂家們另一種專業風采。 小編制的En s e m b l e絃樂室內樂團，在國 際樂界上已成為主流的演奏形式之一。其對 音 色 的 要 求 （ To n e ） ， 氣 息 合 一 拉 奏 的 方 式 （Articulation）和演奏時的態度（Form），都 是Ensemble追求的極致目標。誠如首席吳庭毓所 說：「在沒有指揮引領的情況下，演出者彼此間 的互動、傾聽、默契更為重要；而每個成員對 『音樂』的成型與詮釋都有發言權。」經過長時 間的磨合互動，才能建立完美的默契與不同凡響 的精準詮釋。Ensemble演出編制在柏林愛樂、德 勒斯登、邦貝格等德國各大專業交響樂團內已蔚 為風尚，NSO首席絃樂團也希望能藉由這樣高度 默契的演出形式紮根國內，成為台灣第一支職業 絃樂團。 「站著演出」的首席絃樂團在未來的節目規 劃中，也計劃邀請不同的當代作曲家為絃樂團 「量身訂作」樂曲，希望藉此建立團隊風格之 外，也鼓勵當代作曲家們持續為絃樂團寫出能展 現精簡純淨的樂音！
from each string section, with their principals as leaders, join forces to found the NSO String Ensemble. Their debut was held at the National Concert Hall on April 24, 2008. With their rich performances, unparalleled unity, innovative notions, and mastery of sound, the NSO String Ensemble surely brings an unforgettable music experience to all audiences. Small-scaled ensembles has become a trend in the modern music world, since the qualities of tone, articulation, and the form are easier to control. According to NSO’s concertmaster TingYu Wu, “Without the direction of the conductor, the tacit understanding among the performers becomes more important to the performance while each member plays a part in shaping the music.” A performance of unity and precision can only be achieved after years of collaboration among musicians. Most of the prominent German orchestras, such as the Berliner Philharmoniker, Sachsische Staatskapelle Dresden, and Bamberger Symphoniker have established their affiliated ensembles. We hope, the NSO String Ensemble will flourish through the same practice and becomes the first professional string orchestra in Taiwan.

Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622 O f t h e w o r k s w h i c h Mo z a r t c o m p o s e d f o r t h e outstanding Viennese clarinetist Anton Stadler (1753-1812), the Clarinet Quintet in A, K581, written in 1789, and the present Concerto in A, completed less than two months before the composer's death in 1791, are the crowning achievements. Work on the Concerto was started in 1789. Mozart originally intended the work to be for basset horn, but revised it for clarinet. However, the version widely known today differs from the work Mozart produced for Stadler, since the original version was written for an instrument with an extended bass compass that allowed Stadler to demonstrate his famed ability to play low notes. The transcription for standard clarinet (published ten years after Mozart's death) therefore requires an octave transcription of the notes that cannot be produced on it, which changes the color of the work. The first performance was given by Stadler on 16 October 1791, not in Vienna, but at his benefit concert in the Prague Theatre. It therefore seems certain that the composer never heard the composition that has become one of his best known. Cast in the usual three movements, the gentle, nostalgic lyricism of much of the Clarinet Concerto has drawn such epithets as "valedictory" and "autumnal," an assessment that downplays the extraordinary vigor and verve of this inspired work.
The specific occasion for which the Serenade was written is not known, but some have suggested that the work's grace, elegance, and perfection of form were intended as an antidote to the deliberate banality and clumsiness of the composer's Ein musikalischer Spass (A musical joke), K. 522, composed some six weeks earlier. However, this seems to run counter to the character of a composer quite capable of unapologetically coarse musical humor (as in some of his vocal canons, for example). The musicologist Alfred Einstein, also makes the questionable assertion that Mozart wrote the Serenade to fulfill a personal inner need -- if true, certainly atypical for a composer who rarely produced music without some external motivation or purpose, whether financial or otherwise. The extant movements of the Serenade are as follows: Allegro; Romance (Andante); Menuetto (Allegretto); and Rondo (Allegro). © 2014 All Music

Serenade in G major, K. 525, Eine kleine Nachtmusik The Serenade in G major (1787), the most enduringly popular of all of Mozart's works, was written during the a period when the composer was also hard at work on his opera Don Giovanni. The title Eine kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music) is Mozart's own; "Nachtmusik" was actually a common designation for serenades of this type. While Mozart composed several such works during his years in Salzburg, the Serenade in G is unique to the period of his residence in Vienna (1781-1791). The work differs from Mozart's earlier serenades in its comparatively lean scoring: two violins, viola, cello, and double bass. Mozart's entry for this work in his catalogue shows that the work originally had five movements; the original second movement, a minuet, was later removed.
