Daniel is lobbying for the leading role in Divertimento, a well-known play that made a star of leading man Bernardo Gabler (Francisco Rabal).
Bernardo is not at all eager to turn over his signature role to another actor and insists on putting Daniel through a punishing audition, which turns out to be the least of Daniel's problems when Bernardo forces him to help hide a corpse, implicating him in a murder Bernardo claims to have committed.
He settles on a play named 'Divertimento', playing at an old theatre in Galicia, where he will be taking over from seasoned actor Bernardo Gabler.

Il termine sport deriva dall’inglese, ma risale a sua volta dall'antico termine francese desport : divertimento, svago.
L'esasperazione della componente violenta della competizione nell'antica Roma è facilmente riscontrabile nel costante successo che riscontrarono tra la popolazione i combattimenti dei gladiatori, che vennero ben presto utilizzati a fini di propaganda politica (panem et circenses) ed in questo senso va vista la costruzione in molte città dell'impero di grandi anfiteatri, come il Colosseo.
Le varie discipline sportive che nel loro insieme compongono ciò che noi definiamo sport possiedono, nelle loro componenti più basilari, degli elementi che le accomunano tra di loro: lo spirtito di competizione, la voglia di divertimento, la ricerca del benessere o il tentivo di avvicinare i limiti psicofisici degli atleti.

The "Trio that I have written for you" is the Divertimento for string trio in E flat major K. 563; this was dedicated to Puchberg and noted down by Mozart in his own catalogue on 27 September 1788 as "Ein Divertimento à 1 violino, 1 viola, e violoncello; di sei Pezzi".
Although the composition respects the formal structure of a Divertimento, with the typical division into six movements, its character shares nothing with the group of Divertimenti and Serenades that he had been composing since 1766 and that were intended to be a "jolly entertainment" for the Salzburg Court.
By contrast, this is a work of profound meaning and intrinsic musical worth; indeed, it was written only a few weeks after the last symphonies, and it must be ranked next to the best quartets and quintets of the last period.

`Divertimento' could well have been made as a play for television instead of as a film for the cinema; therein lies the problem of acceptance in general.
You go to the cinema to see a film; "divertimento" is not really a film in the ordinary sense, as it is most definitely a classical play in the theatre sense.
Suffice to say that in `Divertimento' both actors achieve a very satisfying result for those of us who are fond of live theatre productions.

 Divertimento, Bryan Kelly
Born in Oxford in 1934, Kelly studied at the Royal College of Music with Herbert Howells and Gordon Jacob, then with Nadia Boulanger in Paris.
Composed in 1969, the Divertimento was commissioned by the Scottish Amateur Music Association for the National Youth Brass Band of Scotland.
Cast in four contrasting movements, this thirteen minute piece is thoroughly characteristic of the composer’s best brass writing; the textures open and lightly scored, the harmony distinctly tonal, but with many delightful and unexpected twists.

The solo keyboard sonata also flourished and almost all composers wrote sonatas for their pupils; many of Haydn's earliest preserved compositions are harpsichord or clavichord sonatas for his fashionable Viennese pupils.
Another very popular genre was the divertimento for wind band, which usually consisted of two oboes, two bassoons and two horns.
Coupled to this wind band divertimento was another popular form which consisted of divertimenti with two oboes, two horns, two violins, two violas, cello and double-bass, to which one or two bassoons were sometimes added.

 Divertimento: Excerpts from The NPR Classical Music Companion
Haydn and Mozart both wrote dozens of divertimentos, but in their hands the "entertainment" often reached great heights — and depth.
Mozart's trio for violin, viola, and cello, K. 563, for example, is called Divertimento, but by any definition it's serious music, a brilliant, beautiful, and profound piece.
And like any great work of art or literature, it's effective and affecting on many levels at once.

The "Overture to Candide" was excellent, as was the "Suite from Candide." My particular favorite from the whole CD, however, would be the third "Meditation," because of the divine cello solo, performed by Anthony Ross.
I wasn't particularly fond of the "Five Songs," but I liked the capricious air of "Silhouette." The "Divertimento" is also exquisite.
