Event description

The violist Rebecca Clark, born in London in 1886, is one of England’s most important composers. When she anonymously submitted her Sonata for Viola and Piano, which is characterized by dense harmonies, intoxicating emotions and a high degree of virtuosity, to a competition in 1919, the jury assumed that Maurice Ravel was the composer. The fact that a woman was behind such a phenomenal work was inconceivable to the jury at that time. Almost a century later, Thomas Adès, one of the most frequently performed composers of our time, was also born in London. In his piece Catch from 1991, he plays with different combinations of the four instruments. The clarinet takes on the role of a wanderer: sometimes it is far away from the other instruments, sometimes it joins them. Adès’ piece is followed by Ludwig van Beethoven’s Septet, which premiered at the Vienna Burgtheater in 1800. Its six-movement structure goes back to courtly light music, but the symphonic features go far beyond. The work was already a public favorite in Beethoven’s time.
