CHarleston, WV, 1929) Crumb wrote these songs in 1947, the year he graduated high school and entered Mason College in his native Charleston, West Virginia. His now-wife of 70 years, Elizabeth May Brown, was the first to sing them and they are dedicated to her. They are wholly unlike the works that Crumb eventually became famous for—their sound is more early 20th century art song than the unique and otherworldly sound palette he would later develop. Crumb explained that in West Virginia at that time, Debussy was “almost an ultra-modern.” These songs, with delightful melodies and floating harmonies, show that young Crumb, even before finding his mature style, still had a gift for music that is understated yet emotionally powerful. Crumb suppressed the vast majority of his student compositions but he’s allowed performance of these songs. “Most of the music I wrote before the early sixties (when I finally found my own voice) now Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center causes me intense discomfort,” he writes, “although I make an exception for a few songs which I composed when I was 17 or 18.… these little pieces stayed in my memory and when, some years ago, Jan DeGaetani expressed an interest in seeing them (with a view to possible performance if she liked them), I made a few slight revisions and even decided to have them published.

The society raised money to provide pensions to widows and orphans of Viennese musicians. Its concerts were regular occurrences on the Viennese social calendar and Mozart composed and performed for them, even though he was not a member, something he would regret right before his death at the age of 35. This quintet premiered at a society concert on December 22, 1789, in between two halves of a cantata by Vincenzo Righini. The clarinetist was Anton Stadler, one of the first virtuosos on the instrument and Mozart’s close personal friend. Mozart wrote all of his major clarinet works— this one, the Kegelstatt Trio, and the Clarinet Concerto—with Stadler’s playing in mind. Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center The clarinet was a relatively new instrument in Mozart’s day yet he expertly tapped into the instrument’s unique singing quality.

    LIVE from LINCOLN CENTER October 14, 2001 5:00 P.M. on PBS the Chamber Music Society of Linconln Center an EVENING of BEETHOVEN

    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER October 14, 2001 5:00 p.m. on PBS The Chamber Music Society of Linconln Center AN EVENING OF BEETHOVEN Artist members and guests of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center continue the 25th anniversary season of Live From Lincoln Center telecasts with an all-Beethoven program on Sunday afternoon, October 14, from 5 to 7 PM. As are most of the Chamber Music Society concerts in New York City, this one will be played in Alice Tully Hall. Two early and comparative rarities—the B Flat Trio, Opus 11 for Clarinet, Cello and Piano and the C Major Quintet for Strings, Opus 29—frame one of music's most enduring masterpieces, the A Major Sonata for Violin and Piano, Opus 47, known as the "Kreutzer" Sonata. In 1792 Beethoven decided to pull up stakes from his native Bonn and settle permanently in Vienna, a city where he had some years earlier spent happy days. Vienna was then the capitol of the musical world and it exerted a magnet-like pull on aspiring composers and performers. Still little-known at the time (he was in his mid-thirties) he had to find a way to make a mark in Vienna and make it quickly. Cannily he figured that his prowess as a pianist and improviser might be the best way to accomplish this; thus many of his earliest works were written as vehicles for himself to perform and "wow" the public. By the time of his Opus 11 Sonata for Clarinet, Cello and Piano of 1798 he had already written 7 Piano Sonatas, 2 Sonatas for Cello and Piano and a Sonata for Piano 4 Hands.
