Wednesdays at One: Pre-College Chamber Music

Lincoln Center

The piano quintet is a powerful chamber ensemble, combining the sonic richness of a string quartet with the symphonic aura of a grand piano. Russian master Anton Arensky, teacher of Rachmaninoff, penned a sole quintet in his mature years, and the ever-popular French composer Camille Saint-Saëns began his prolific chamber music career with this early quintet of surprising skill and maturity. Captivating violin duos by virtuosi of the Baroque and Classical eras serve as effervescent preludes.

Arensky and Saint-Saëns

CMSLC musicians return to close our 66th season with two pairs of works. First, Leclair’s challenging Sonata for Two Violins fuses Italian and French styles in an intimate melodic interplay; equally challenging and virtuosic is Viotti’s charming Duo for Two Violins.  The second pairing is Saint-Saëns’ youthful and exacting Piano Quintet, while Arensky’s is full of Russian (and French) flavor, considered by some a mature masterpiece.

Arensky. Duda. Shostakovich

The Professed House, Prague

Black Student Union Club Recital

Franz Schubert composed his String Trio in B flat major, which, like his Symphony in B minor, remained a fragment. Together with his early string quartets, the string trio was also intended for music-making within the Schubert household: his brothers and his father played violins and cello, he himself played the viola. Some 60 years later, in his first string quartet Bedřich Smetana looks back on his life and describes both the happy moments of his youth and the "inevitable fate" of his deafness. The jubilant movement of the finale breaks off abruptly and a high note is heard in the 1st violin, with which Smetana translated the beginning of his hearing loss into music. The quartet ends in a resigned mood, without a glimmer of hope. Russian Late Romantic Anton Arensky broke up this classical quartet formation with his String Quartet No. 2, in which he played the cello instead of the violin. He composed the quartet in 1894 in memory of his deceased friend Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky. In addition to funeral hymns from the Russian Orthodox liturgy, the quartet also contains variations on Tchaikovsky’s children’s song Legenda.

After Mozart and Beethoven established the piano as an essential force in classical music, Russian and French Romantic composers took the instrument to the next level. Yet these distinct cultures sought profoundly different sounds: Anton Arensky and Sergei Rachmaninov bared the powerful soul of Russia, while Gabriel Fauré and Claude Debussy reveled in ethereal pleasures. Debussy’s iconic Jeux (Games) for orchestra is performed by eminent French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (who arranged the work for two pianos) and Van Cliburn Competition prizewinner Anna Geniushene.
