A concert program celebrating the clarinet in two stellar chamber works: Beethoven’s own arrangement of his extremely popular septet, scored for clarinet, cello and piano and Brahms’ late sumptuous trio with the same formation, inspired by the exquisite playing of the German clarinettist, Richard Mühlfeld, whom he endearingly called “his dear nightingale.”
With Eric Thomas, clarinet; Timothy Merton, Jennifer Morsches, cellos; Jean Schneider, piano
Program:
Brahms Trio in A minor, op. 114 for clarinet, cello and piano (1891)
Beethoven Trio, op. 38 (Beethoven’s own arrangement of the Septet, op.20) (1803)
