Program
Schubert: Piano Quintet in A Major “Trout”
Faure: Piano Quartet No. 1 in C Minor
Franz Schubert composed one of the most famous and beautiful pieces of chamber music ever written. In his study of Schubert, Alfred Einstein wrote that the “Trout” Quintet is music “we cannot help but love.” The Trout Quintet, was written in 1819 for piano, violin, viola, cello and double bass. The piece’s fourth movement consists of a theme and variations, the tune of which Schubert had previously written as an adaptation of a poem called “The Trout.” The verses depict a coldblooded angler as he hooks a merry fish.
Faure’s Piano Quartet No. 1 in C Minor, one of the masterpieces of his early period. The quartet is an extraordinary achievement, both for the range of its expression and for Fauré’s imaginative craftsmanship.
