Your favorite chamber pieces

I hope I can talk some of these guys into posting their files here, since they already have recording habits and all.

 

I'd like to mention Clara Schumann's piano trio in G minor here. It's quite a charming, albeit unjustly neglected work, which I was lucky enough to play last year. It's a bit reminiscent of Mendelssohn, although the piano part isn't quite as stupendous.

If you'd like to get acquainted with the work, here's our live recording of the 3rd movement, a delightful Andante.

 

Why don't you put it in the Audition Room, François? Would it not be okay with your co-performers?

 

"Es" is the German name for E-flat. Just as "H" is the German name for "B". This gives composers some flexibility in playing name games.

But sometimes it gets really far-fetched - like Ravel with his menuet on the name of Haydn, using the notes B-A-D-D-G. :?

 

Nobody has mentioned the famous Schumann Piano Quintet yet? It's amazing! (I'm not sure if he wrote more than one... the one I'm thinking of is in.. E?)

 

Thank you for this live recording. Sounds like a very nice, tranquil piece.
Oh wait, now its dramatic. Oh here it comes back again...

It has a bit of everything, the recapitulation is remnicient of late Beethoven, Clara was a true genius and the unsung hero of Roberts Schumann's celebrity. The ending coda is much like Mendelssohn.


Thank you for your efforts and practice.

 

Has anyone mentioned the two Mendelssohn piano trios, op. 49 and 66? These are really beautiful works, in my humble opinion. Together they'd give you about an hour of glorious music for your listening pleasure.

 

Well as of now, I love the Weber Trio in G Minor for flute, cello and piano.

I am doing a festival this summer and me and my group were assigned to work on the finale of that work. The piano part is pretty difficult but I am determined to get it
