Johannes Brahms – Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor, Op. 60
Dmitri Shostakovich – Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 57
This summer’s sixth concert program offers two of the chamber music literature’s most emotionally powerful statements. Brahms composed his Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor, Op. 60, in the throes of romantic despair. “You may place a picture on the title page, namely a head – with a pistol in front of it,” he wrote to his publisher. “This will give you some idea of the music.” A similar pathos permeates Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet, completed in 1940 and critically hailed as “a portrait of our age – the rich-toned, perfect voice of the present.”
The livestream will take place at 4pm Pacific. Broadcasting live from Menlo School, Atherton, CA.
