    Notes on the Program By James M. Keller, Program Annotator, The Leni and Peter May Chair Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34 Johannes Brahms ohannes Brahms was 29 years old in 1862, seated at the other piano. Ironically, critics Jwhen he embarked on this seminal mas- now complained that the work lacked the terpiece of the chamber-music repertoire, sort of warmth that string instruments would though the work would not reach its final have provided — the opposite of Joachim’s form as his Piano Quintet until two years objection. Unlike the original string-quintet later. He was no beginner in chamber music version, which Brahms burned, the piano when he began this project. He had already duet was published — and is still performed written dozens of ensemble works before and appreciated — as his Op. 34bis. he dared to publish one, his B-major Piano By this time, however, Brahms must have Trio (Op. 8) of 1853–54. Among those early, grown convinced of the musical merits of his unpublished chamber pieces were 20-odd material and, with some coaxing from his string quartets, all of which he consigned friend Clara Schumann, he gave the piece to destruction prior to finally publishing his one more try, incorporating the most idiom- three mature works in that classic genre in atic aspects of both versions.

  • The Role of Clarinet in Op. 114 a Minor Trio Composed by Johannes Brahms for Clarinet, Cello and Piano
    Global Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Vol.7, No. 3, pp.80-90, March 2019 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) THE ROLE OF CLARINET IN OP. 114 A MINOR TRIO COMPOSED BY JOHANNES BRAHMS FOR CLARINET, CELLO AND PIANO *İlkay Ak Lecturer, Music Department, Anadolu University, Eskişehir, Turkey ABSTRACT: Sonatas and chamber music works written for clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld by Johannes Brahms, who was one of the most important composers of the second half of Romantic period, in the last years of his life are among the irreplaceable works of clarinet training repertoire. These works which enable the musical improvement for the player are also significant to transfer the stylistic properties of the time. Op. 114 A Minor Trio composed for Clarinet, Cello and Piano by Brahms is among the most important works of chamber music training repertoire and often appears in concerts. The work consists of four parts. The first part is Allegro, the second part is Adagio, the third one is Andantino grazioso and the fourth one is Allegro. In this study, the life and musical identity of Brahms are going to be discussed first and then solo and chamber music works with clarinet are going to be mentioned. Next, the parts which can create technical and musical difficulties for the clarinet performance in Op. 114 A Minor Trio of the composer are determined and the things to decrease these are going to be suggested. KEYWORDS: Romantic Period, Brahms, Mühlfeld, Clarinet, Trio INTRODUCTION: JOHANNES BRAHMS Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) German Johannes Brahms as one of the prominent composers of the second half of 19th century was born on 7 May 1833 as a son of a double bass player.

  • Guide to Repertoire
    Guide to Repertoire The chamber music repertoire is both wonderful and almost endless. Some have better grips on it than others, but all who are responsible for what the public hears need to know the landscape of the art form in an overall way, with at least a basic awareness of its details. At the end of the day, it is the music itself that is the substance of the work of both the performer and presenter. Knowing the basics of the repertoire will empower anyone who presents concerts. Here is a run-down of the meat-and-potatoes of the chamber literature, organized by instrumentation, with some historical context. Chamber music ensembles can be most simple divided into five groups: those with piano, those with strings, wind ensembles, mixed ensembles (winds plus strings and sometimes piano), and piano ensembles. Note: The listings below barely scratch the surface of repertoire available for all types of ensembles. The Major Ensembles with Piano The Duo Sonata (piano with one violin, viola, cello or wind instrument) Duo repertoire is generally categorized as either a true duo sonata (solo instrument and piano are equal partners) or as a soloist and accompanist ensemble. For our purposes here we are only discussing the former. Duo sonatas have existed since the Baroque era, and Johann Sebastian Bach has many examples, all with “continuo” accompaniment that comprises full partnership. His violin sonatas, especially, are treasures, and can be performed equally effectively with harpsichord, fortepiano or modern piano. Haydn continued to develop the genre; Mozart wrote an enormous number of violin sonatas (mostly for himself to play as he was a professional-level violinist as well).

  • Brahms Clarinet Sonata Op 120 No 1
    Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Clarinet Sonata in F minor Op 120 No 1 (1894) Allegro appassionato Andante, un poco Adagio Allegretto grazioso Vivace By March 1891 Brahms' creative impetus appeared to have faded away. He had composed nothing for more than a year; he had completed his will. But then, when Brahms was visiting Meiningen, the conductor of the court orchestra drew his attention to the playing of their erstwhile violinist, now director of the court theatre and principal clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld (1856-1907), who performed privately for Brahms. As the clarinettist Anton Stadler had previously inspired Mozart, so now Mühlfeld inspired Brahms. There rapidly followed four wonderful chamber pieces: a Trio Op 114 and a Quintet Op 115 for clarinet and strings, and two clarinet and piano Sonatas Op 120 (also loved by viola players). In the hundred years since Mozart wrote his clarinet quintet, the instrument had evolved into something akin to the modern “Boehm” clarinet. Its larger number of keys, and consequently simpler fingering, made rapid chromatic playing easier than was possible on the much simpler clarinets used, albeit to great effect, by Stadler. Brahms is said to have particularly enjoyed the sound of clarinet with piano and in the two Op 120 sonatas he produces a wonderful richness of sound from the combination of the two instruments. Although the first movement is marked appassionata, and Brahms' earlier use of F minor had been turbulent (as in the Piano Quintet Op 34), the mood here is more lyrical and wistful, occasionally ‘smouldering rather than explosive' (Ivor Keys ).

  • 2019/20 S E a S
    2019/20 SEASON JANUARY - MARCH 2020 2 • Director’s Introduction • 3 We are delighted to welcome the French mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa for her Wigmore Hall debut this spring, presenting a programme of her native repertoire alongside two works from the distinguished Turkish pianist, Fazıl Say, who will accompany Crebassa in January. Vijay Iyer continues his contemplations on musicality with two events in January. Ritual Ensemble draws on various musical systems to forge a unity of orchestrated and ecstatic expressions in their music. The following afternoon, Iyer is joined in conversation by Professor Georgina Born for an exchange of ideas traversing the arts, humanities, and social and natural sciences. Our Beethoven celebrations continue with the cycles begun in autumn, including Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch’s complete piano trios, Jonathan Biss in the complete piano sonatas, and James Ehnes and Andrew Armstrong’s exploration of the composer’s violin sonatas. An evening in March is dedicated to Beethoven’s string trios with Daniel Sepec, Tabea Zimmermann and Jean-Guihen Queyras. The Dover Quartet presents two consecutive concerts in January covering composers from Mozart and Rossini to Hindemith and double bassist Edgar Meyer. Meyer joins the quartet on the Sunday night for a Rossini duet and his own Quintet for strings. In February 2020, Wigmore Hall Learning presents its annual Learning Festival. From Monday 10 to Saturday 22 February, we will explore the concept of Musical Conversations, with a special Bechstein Session event with the Sacconi Quartet to open the festival on 10 February. The celebrated soprano Nelly Miricioiu will be leading what promises to be an insightful masterclass in March, following her lunchtime recital a week before.
