MOST RECENT FRIENDS OF CHAMBER MUSIC PERFORMANCE: Tonight marks the first performance of this work on our series. ESTIMATED DURATION: 10 minutes The career of Clara Schumann is intertwined with that of her husband Robert, yet she was also an artist in her own right. As a renowned concert pianist, she set the standard for playing from memory, and as a composer her works reveal not only a well trained sense of harmony and form but also an expressive independence, a real genius. Clara and Robert met in Leipzig in 1834, married six years later, and had eight children together. Their relationship, and the initial resistance on the part of Clara’s dictatorial father to their marriage, inspired them to compose songs for one another. Their amorous exchange in music was sometimes melancholic, other times bitter, but always deeply loving. A central concern is loss, likewise an essential preoccupation of the Romantic aesthetic. Despite Clara’s creative talent, women in the 19th century could not promote themselves as composers. “Women,” she lamented in a letter, “are not born to compose,” meaning not that they couldn’t, but that they were allowed only to play music penned by men. Thus Robert ultimately accomplished more than she did, producing four symphonies and a musical treatment of Johann von Goethe’s Faust, even though her works showed more initial promise. In addition to salon songs, she composed chamber pieces and an influential piano concerto that attracted the attention of, among other European composers, Johannes Brahms. friendsofchambermusic.com 3 Program Notes Inspiration for her Three Romances for Violin and Piano Continued came from the violinist Joseph Joachim, with whom Clara performed on tour. The pieces reached the court of Hannover, where the monarch declared her music to be a “marvelous, heavenly pleasure.” That pleasure, however, has dark hues. Each of the romances is in three parts, the middles contrasting the frames. The harmonies in the core of the second Romance darken, and some of the long-breathed melodies falter as if threatened. These are character pieces, of contrasting moods and affects. The first is more about the violin than the piano, and the third more about the piano than the violin. The second strikes a balance. The content ranges from Roma (“gypsy”) pathos to merriment, festive exultation, to a final piece marked “Leidenschaftlich schnell” (passionate quickness). BRAHMS: IN BRIEF SONATA NO. 3 IN BORN: May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany D MINOR, OP. 108 DIED: April 3, 1897 in Vienna, Austria WORK COMPOSED: between 1878 and 1888; dedicated to Brahms's friend and colleague, Hans Von Bülow. FIRST PERFORMED: 1888 in Budapest with Jeño Hubay on violin and the composer on the piano. MOST RECENT FRIENDS OF CHAMBER MUSIC PERFORMANCE: October 15, 2014 with Erin Keefe, violin, and Shai Wosner, piano. ESTIMATED DURATION: 21 minutes Clara nurtured her husband’s talent, devoting herself to his career and to raising their family. She performed the same service for Brahms, both professionally—she was his muse—and personally, as he was a member of the Schumann household for many years.

  • The Eleventh Season: from Bach July 18–August 10, 2013
    The Eleventh Season: From Bach July 18–August 10, 2013 WELCOME TO MUSIC@MENLO Dear Friends, The most transformative musical experiences of our own lives inevitably surface at Music@Menlo. Whether they inspire a single concert or provide context for an entire festival, we bring you these musical revelations with tremendous excitement. This we promise you: if you find it at Music@Menlo, it has a story deeply rooted in our personal history. Such an experience occurred for us during Music@Menlo’s ninth festival, which illustrated Brahms’s wide range of musical sources and influences. A program opened with an eloquent performance of Bach’s Second Suite for Solo Cello and then moved to works by composers indebted to both Bach and Brahms. Bach is a composer we had long revered, and we spoke excitedly of this concert’s extraordinary effect. Had the music of Bach—which unquestionably laid the foundations for the flow- ering of classical music through the present day—transformed the works which followed it, by composers including Schoenberg and Harbison? Or had Bach’s music, through its cosmic logic, simply opened our ears to hearing everything that followed it more clearly and vividly? These questions blossomed into our dream of an entire Music@Menlo season programmed in this special way, and in due time From Bach was born. Once again, Music@Menlo is proud to offer a rich festival experience to be found nowhere else. What better way to inaugurate our second decade than with con- certs that begin with works by a composer without equal, created at

  • The Rockport Chamber Music Festival Brings the Aizuri Quartet, JCT Trio and Much More
    BARRY SHIFFMAN, artistic director CONTACT: Karen Herlitz, Director of Marketing [email protected] Phone: 978-546-7391, Ext. 110 DATE: June 3, 2019 The Rockport Chamber Music Festival brings the Aizuri Quartet, JCT Trio and much more Threading throughout the 38th Annual Rockport Chamber Music Festival this year will be the theme of “Source and Inspiration.” With the Festival opening on June 14, the third week (June 27-30) continues the theme with the 2019 Grammy-nominated Aizuri Quartet, the JCT Trio, violist Gilad Karni with an ensemble of musicians, as well as Toronto’s Art of Time Ensemble which will present a program following how the “waltz” has inspired music over 150 years. On Thursday, June 27 at 8 pm, the Aizuri Quartet brings a mixed program of Haydn and Beethoven as well as new works by Gabriella Smith and Caroline Shaw. The Aizuri Quartet, nominated for a 2019 Grammy for its debut album Blueprinting which features new works written for the Aizuri by five American composers, performs two of these works on the program. The Quartet has quickly risen to the top echelon of chamber ensembles, after receiving the 2018 M-Prize Chamber Arts Competition. They recently served as the MetLiveArts String Quartet-in-Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through its engaging and thought-provoking programs, branded by The New York Times as “genuinely exciting” and “imaginative,” the Quartet has garnered critical acclaim for bringing “a technical bravado and emotional power” to bold new commissions, and for its “flawless” (San Diego Union-Tribune) performances of the great masterpieces of the past.
