Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s masterpiece *Eine kleine Nachtmusik* ("a little night music") was completed in Vienna on 10 August 1787 while he worked on the opera Don Giovanni, but the work was not published until about 1827, long after his death. The occasion and the patron for Mozart’s composition remains unknown today and it was probably never performed within the span of his lifetime.

Almost 200 years later and in the same city of Vienna, the world’s musical capital, Mozart’s masterpiece has been remoulded to reflect society’s evolution into today’s postmodern artistic landscape, with the incorporation of bold and futuristic cutting-edge technologies.

The structure of the Mastertrack consists of four stems: Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola and Cello, with a total of five variations per stem. Layering different stem variations over one another leads to the creation of personally crafted, magical and unique tapestries of sound, closely related to Mozart’s original.

**Variation 1 (Traditional)** – This interpretation by star violinist Dalibor Karvay sets the main theme of the traditional composition and is strictly represented by fully grown high trees.

**Variation 2 (Alternative)** – an **alternative interpretation** of the original theme represented by trees of half the height and 4 short blocks.

**Variation 3 (Breakpoint)** – consists of an interpretation of the theme in "**pizzicato**", a technique rarely used during Mozart’s lifetime, illustrated by small trees and 3 blocks.

**Variation 4 (Modern)** – a gradual distortion of the original sound of the first violin through the addition of **beats**. As the sound becomes modernized, it is depicted by 2 monoliths that replace the trees of the previous variations, symbolizing the transition into a new digital era.

**Variation 5 (Futuristic)** – The unpredictable and futuristic melody line generated by **constant octave jumps** illustrates the uncertainty of approaching times and is depicted by 1 massive monolith.
