Piano Quintet in A Major "Die Forelle" by Franz Schubert Piano Quintet in C Minor (Opus 16) by Hermann Goetz |
|
Our concert season concludes as always with a performance of Schubert's much loved Trout Quintet. This miraculous work never loses its freshness, and its distinctively warm sound is due in large part to the unusual instrumentation; the strings have no second violin, only one violin, viola, 'cello and double bass. There are very few other works written for this combination. Hermann Goetz, who died at the tragically early age of 36, composed a particularly fine work for this scoring. Here is an opportunity to hear part of this valuable, but rarely performed chamber work. |
