Chamber Music Matinée N° 8

The Tonkünstlerverein congratulates itself with a summit work. Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet, composed in only five days - Robert's wife Clara played the piano part at the premiere - not only became the model of a genre. For an entire generation of composers, it is also the Romantic chamber music work par excellence: the climax of the chamber music year 1842, which in Schumann's biography followed the song year and the symphonic year. The first movement, with its constant alternation between triumphant surges and subdued passages, is just as immediately romantic as the second, in which, according to Piotr Tchaikovsky, "a whole tragedy" unfolds.
