I missed the eclipse too, because I forgot all about it -- I was too busy watching episode 3 of the terrific HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon!
As for an all-Mozart concert, I'd only be interested if the three works featured came from the following list: the string trio K. 563, the first two of the "Haydn" quartets, the last five string quintets, the oboe quartet, the "Kagelstatt" trio, or the clarinet quintet. The late piano trios don't cut it (too boring), and though I like the piano quartets okay, I've heard them live and have trouble getting fired up about them. But as far as I'm concerned, that list of eleven works are where Mozart's greatest instrumental masterpieces are to be found. That said, I did once write a program note about the last symphony for Northwest Sinfonietta, of which I am still proud.
