CHAMBER MUSIC III: Brahms & His Influences

CHAMBER MUSIC III: Brahms & His Influences

Dvorak - Piano Quartet No. 2 in E-flat Major, Op. 87
Webern - Langsamer Satz for String Quartet
Brahms - String Quintet No. 2 in G Major, Op. 111

Johannes Brahms’ “Prater Quintet,” a viola quintet that the composer intended to be his swan song, anchors this Daniel Hope & Friends concert. The sensational reaction to the quintet’s premiere in 1890 led Brahms to reconsider his earlier declaration: “ I have worked enough; now let the young fellows take over.” The program begins with Dvorak’s 2nd piano quartet, one of his most popular chamber pieces. In the words of the late British Dvorak’s scholar John Clapham: “[it] probably epitomizes more completely the genuine Dvorak style in most of its facets than any other work of his. Laughter and tears, sorrow and gaiety, are found side by side, as well as many moods that lie between these two extremes.” Also on this program is an important work from one of the founding fathers of the Second Vienna School, Anton Webern.
