The audience at this chamber music evening can enjoy works featuring unusual combinations of instruments. Hindemith’s Sonata for Four Horns exploits the tonal possibilities of this grouping; indeed, the composer’s use of complex harmonies and dense polyphony highlights the instrument’s unique timbre. The horn also appears in a trio by Beethoven’s pupil Carl Czerny, confirming that the famed composer of pianistic finger exercises was capable of more substantial fare. Dvořák’s String Quartet in F major is the companion piece to the symphony »From the New World«. The Czech master’s integration of American spiritual and folk music with his unmistakably Bohemian melodies is even stronger here than in the more celebrated Ninth.
