After four concerts in 2023, János Mátyás Stark, Gergely Devich, and Fülöp Ránki are announcing a new series at the BMC, now under the name of Trio Haris. The series will conclude with works by two closely related geniuses of romantic chamber music.
Program:
Robert Schumann: Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, op. 63
*****
Johannes Brahms: Piano Trio No. 1 in B major, op. 8
Featuring:
János Mátyás Stark – violin
Gergely Devich – cello
Fülöp Ránki – piano
The professional and personal relationship between Schumann and Brahms has a wealth of musical and non-musical sources, and a vast literature. Both wrote three piano trios, the first of which will be performed in this concert. Schumann wrote his first trio in D minor (Op. 63) relatively late, and its troubled D minor, passing through the lively F major of the scherzo and the dark A minor of the slow movement, finally resolves into the luminous D major of the finale. Brahms's Trio in B flat major bears the opus number 8 – the composer wrote the first version in 1854, when he was twenty-one –, but this is misleading because it was thoroughly revised three and a half decades later. Dramaturgically, the work is essentially the reverse of Schumann's, and, uniquely among the top works of the trio repertoire, begins in a major key but ends in minor.
