CIOMPI Presents 2025 Summer Music Series: A Journey through Musical Masterpieces

Johannes Brahms' Quintet for clarinet and strings, a timeless masterwork, will bring back Rane Moore, who shone in last year's Dreams and Prayers concert. The program begins with a piano trio by Haydn, architect of high classicism, that features flute rather than violin (D Major, Hob. XV:16). Sofia Gubaidulina's blazing originality is already evident in her early Piano Quintet, which reveals her origins as a soviet composer under the sway of mentors like Shostakovich, but still bursts with her own unique talent and energy.

In 1853, Robert Schumann famously declard Johannes Brahms the composer destined to carry Beethoven's legacy forward. Four decades later, Brahms endorsed the publication of Alexander Zemlinksy's Trio, Op. 3 by Simrock in 1896. Three years later, in 1899, Zemlinksy's student, Arnold Schoenberg, composed his groundbreaking work,Verklärte Nacht, (Transfigured Night) Op. 4. We trace this remarkable arc of creativity through early piano trios of these three pivotal figures in the German musical tradition.
