Mozart & Bruch

Live Concert: February 1st, 2021 @ 7:30 PM
Virtual Concert: February 3rd, 2021 @ 7:30 PM
TICKETS

Ever the pioneer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart broke ground when he composed his substantial Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, K. 498 (nicknamed “Kegelstatt”). Along with his Clarinet Quintet and Clarinet Concerto, this trio further popularized the new woodwind instrument, and highlights its singing qualities with soaring phrases and gorgeous lyricism. The viola too, which was used to an accompanimental role at the time, is offered as much of a soloistic spotlight as the others. A gracious dialogue persists throughout the piece, culminating in a comprehensive Theme and Variations to finish. Along with Robert Schumann, Max Bruch would carry the torch from Mozart with this unique instrumentation into the Romantic era, with his Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano. Autumnal and heartfelt, these personal works can evoke the sentiment of Schumann or Brahms.
