Brahms Chamber Music Festival
Brahms and the Schumanns
Three intimate perspectives on the musical life of the Romantic-era master, featuring readings and special guests.
Romanticism itself couldn’t have written a better drama: Brahms, Clara Schumann, and Robert Schumann as the closest friends and confidants; Robert declaring Brahms the heir of Beethoven, making him famous, before ending up in a mental asylum; Brahms and Clara flirting with love. In this program, two works by Brahms and two by the Schumanns conjure the composers’ entangled relationships.
Program:
Brahms: Sonatensatz in C Minor
R. Schumann: piano Trio No. 1, Op. 63
C. Schumann: Three Romances for violin and piano, Op. 22
Brahms: Horn Trio, Op. 40S
