Perhaps this is why his soaring lyricism, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic language appealed to early–and mid–20th- century luminaries such as Fritz Reiner, Arturo Toscanini, Vladimir Horowitz, and Dimitri Mitropoulos. He achieved success early in his career, writing his first opera at age 10, and, at 14, entering Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music, where he excelled in composition, piano, and voice. At 18, he won the Joseph H. -

Chambermusic
American Masterpieces Chamber Music Samuel Barber, circa 1960 The Some of the composer’s best-known Chamber works for small ensemble, written in his youth, entered the repertoire early and remained there. Music of by Barbara Heyman oncert audiences know Samuel Barber for his large-scale orchestral works—the Overture to The School for Scandal, Cthe violin and cello concertos, Knoxville: Summer of 1915, the symphonies, and the three Essays. His chamber music oeuvre is small, but some of these works remain favorites in the repertoire. String players revere the String Quartet in B Minor, Dover Beach, and the Cello Sonata. And wind players know that Barber’s penchant for writing solos for flute, clarinet, and oboe (his signature instrument) Samuel in orchestral works also expresses itself in such small-scale works as Summer Music, Capricorn Concerto, and the 1959 Elegy for Flute and Piano. In recent years I have been assembling a complete thematic catalog of Barber’s works, and in the process have come across some early, unpublished ensemble works that few are familiar with. Among these, the most important is certainly the third movement of Barber’s Sonata in F minor for Violin and Piano, rediscovered in 2006. Masquerading under the title page Sonata for Violoncello and Piano, the music turned up in the estate of the Barber Pennsylvania artist Tom Bostell, who had been a boarder in the Barber family’s West Chester, Pennsylvania, home. When asked to view the 17 pages of manuscript, I recognized the first three pages as those that were missing from the autograph manuscript of the Cello Sonata at the Library of Congress. -
