SUMMARY:Piano Trios by Grieg & Tchaikovsky
DESCRIPTION:Both Grieg and Tchaikovsky are primarily known for their orchestral works\, so it is fascinating to dive into their limited but brilliant and influential chamber music repertoire. Grieg’s Andante con moto is intriguing in that it is a standalone movement in an unfinished piano trio. After Grieg’s death\, his close friend and colleague\, Julius Röntgen\, found his Andante con moto and wrote to Grieg’s widow\, Nina\, saying\, “It is a beautiful piece and completely in order…What a solemnity it conveys! How he can’t get enough of that single theme\, that even in the major mode retains its mourning character\, and then develops so beautifully its full power…The piece can very well stand by itself and does not at all give the impression of being a fragment\, as it constitutes a perfect entity in itself.” He wondered\, however\, if Grieg would have wanted the unfinished piece published\, so it remained unpublished until 1978 when it was placed in a full catalogue of his work. \nTchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A minor was composed as a memorial to his close friend and mentor\, Nikolai Rubinstein\, the esteemed pianist\, conductor\, and founder of the Moscow Conservatory. Though Tchaikovsky initially doubted the effectiveness of the piano trio format\, believing that the piano could overwhelm the strings\, he ultimately embraced the challenge\, creating a masterful and balanced tribute that stands as a cornerstone of the piano trio repertoire. \nProgram \n\nGrieg Andante con moto in Cm.\, EG 116\nTchaikovsky Piano Trio in Am.\, Op. 50\n\nLouisa Stonehill – Violin\, Edward Arron – Cello\, Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Piano Trios by Dvořák\, Haydn\, & Mendelssohn
DESCRIPTION:Dvořák’s Piano Trio in G minor\, Haydn’s “Gypsy Rondo” Piano Trio in G major\, and Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in C minor all incorporate elements of folk music into the Classical piano trio form\, each through their own stylistic lens\, unique story\, and historical context. \nIn August of 1875\, Dvořák lost his newborn daughter within days of her birth\, and he composed the G minor Piano Trio four months later\, over a course of just 17 days. It was the first piece he wrote following this loss\, and it led the way for a burst of brilliant music from Dvořák. The beautiful\, flowing melodies in this piece include many elements of Czech folk music. The music can be interpreted perhaps to serve to affirm and celebrate life. Haydn’s “Gypsy Rondo” incorporates Hungarian folk dance rhythms in its final movement\, with syncopated accents and asymmetrical phrasing. While it is a Classical work\, it is deeply informed by the vernacular music Haydn encountered in Hungary and Austria. Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio in C minor does not quote folk tunes directly but integrates folk-like rhythms in a Romantic style. \nProgram \n\nDvořák Piano Trio in Gm.\, Op. 26\nHaydn Piano Trio in G\, Hob. XV/25\, “Gypsy Rondo”\nMendelssohn Piano Trio in Cm.\, Op. 66\n\nLouisa Stonehill – Violin\, Francisco Vila – Cello\, & Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Doric String Quartet: Inspired by Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This concert was originally scheduled to take place at the Bellows Falls Opera House. Due to circumstances beyond our control we have now moved this concert to Alyson’s Orchard. We are very grateful to Alyson’s for accommodating this event at short notice. \nThe London-based Doric String Quartet\, renowned worldwide for their incredible passion and precision\, presents a compelling program in which they explore the enduring influence of Beethoven’s genius through the distinct voices of three extraordinary composers. \nThe program begins with Mendelssohn’s String Quartet in E-flat major\, an early masterpiece which stylistically pays subtle tribute to Beethoven’s late style\, while also asserting the young composer’s own inventive voice.  The programme culminates in a performance of Beethoven’s own String Quartet in E-flat major\, “Harp” – so named for its distinctive pizzicato passages. This powerful piece stands as a testament to Beethoven’s revolutionary spirit and enduring power to inspire. \nProgram \n\nMendelssohn String Quartet in E-flat\, Op. 12\nBeethoven String Quartet in E-flat\, Op. 74\, “Harp”\n\nDoric Quartet: Maia Cabeza & Ying Xue – Violin\, Emma Wernig – Viola\, John Myerscough – Cello \n\n**SPECIAL OFFER for Alyson’s Orchard ticket holders: Receive 20% off your meal at The Restaurant at Burdick’s when you present your same-day concert tickets!**

SUMMARY:Violin Sonatas by Schumann\, Beethoven\, & Schubert
DESCRIPTION:Looking for something fun and unique to do during Valentine’s weekend this year? We have the perfect date night for you! Bring your loved one to a concert for a romantic evening at The Park Theatre and enjoy beautiful Violin Sonatas by Schumann\, Beethoven\, & Schubert. \nBeethoven’s Sonata for Piano & Violin in G marks a turning point for chamber music where the violin and piano are no longer soloist and accompaniment\, but equal partners in dialogue. Schubert’s Fantasie in C builds on Beethoven’s legacy – You will hear the violin and piano interweave in an almost symphonic texture. The structure is freer (hence the “fantasy” title)\, and the virtuosic writing foreshadows the later Romantic style. In Schumann’s Violin Sonata in A minor\, you can recognize the influence of both Beethoven and Schubert. The violin often mirrors or shadows the piano\, reflecting Schumann’s introspective style. These three pieces are an excellent example of the evolution of the sonata form. \nProgram \n\nSchumann Violin Sonata in Am.\, Op. 105\nBeethoven Sonata for Piano & Violin in G\, Op. 96\nSchubert Fantasie in C\, D.934\n\nLouisa Stonehill – Violin & Nicholas Burns – Piano

In Schumann’s Violin Sonata in A minor\, you can recognize the influence of both Beethoven and Schubert. The violin often mirrors or shadows the piano\, reflecting Schumann’s introspective style. These three pieces are an excellent example of the evolution of the sonata form. \nProgram \n\nSchumann Violin Sonata in Am.\, Op. 105\nBeethoven Sonata for Piano & Violin in G\, Op. 96\nSchubert Fantasie in C\, D.934\n\nLouisa Stonehill – Violin & Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Homeschool Program Featuring Violin Sonatas by Schumann\, Beethoven\, & Schubert
DESCRIPTION:***VENUE CHANGE***  \ndue to circumstances beyond our control the venue for this event has moved to the community room underneath the UCC church on Central Square in Keene. Parking is available behind the church. \nBeethoven’s Sonata for Piano & Violin in G marks a turning point for chamber music where the violin and piano are no longer soloist and accompaniment\, but equal partners in dialogue. Schubert’s Fantasie in C builds on Beethoven’s legacy – You will hear the violin and piano interweave in an almost symphonic texture. The structure is freer (hence the “fantasy” title)\, and the virtuosic writing foreshadows the later Romantic style. In Schumann’s Violin Sonata in A minor\, you can recognize the influence of both Beethoven and Schubert. The violin often mirrors or shadows the piano\, reflecting Schumann’s introspective style. These three pieces are an excellent example of the evolution of the sonata form. \nProgram\n~~Excerpts from \n\nSchumann Violin Sonata in Am.\, Op. 105\nBeethoven Sonata for Piano & Violin in G\, Op. 96\nSchubert Fantasie in C\, D.934\n\nLouisa Stonehill – Violin & Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Tolstoy Inspired... Music by Prokofiev\, Janáček\, & Beethoven
DESCRIPTION:Connecting these works through the lens of Leo Tolstoy – particularly his novella The Kreutzer Sonata – reveals a powerful intersection of music\, psychology\, and morality. All three works orbit the emotional and thematic space carved out by Tolstoy’s philosophical engagement with music. \nBeethoven’s “Kreutzer” sonata is not just a title reference\, it is the catalyst of the story’s crisis. In the novella\, the protagonist hears this sonata performed by his wife and a violinist\, and it ignites a jealous\, existential unraveling that leads to murder. For Tolstoy\, Beethoven’s sonata embodies passionate intensity\, music of dangerous emotional power that bypasses reason and evokes involuntary passions. He later described music as “a shortcut to the heart\,” and a potentially morally hazardous one. Janáček takes Tolstoy’s fear of music’s power and turns it into artistic form\, imitating not the surface of the “Kreutzer Sonata” but its emotional impact: alienation\, desire\, and emotional rupture. Prokofiev reflects a post-Romantic\, post-Tolstoyan world where beauty is aesthetic\, not moral\, and emotional ambiguity prevails; a kind of artistic answer to the dilemma posed by Tolstoy. \nProgram \nProkofiev Cinq Melodies\, Op. 35\nJanáček Violin Sonata\nBeethoven Sonata for Piano & Violin in A\, Op. 47\, “Kreutzer” \nLouisa Stonehill – Violin & Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Piano Trios by Brahms & Schubert
DESCRIPTION:Brahms very much admired Schubert and was influenced by his mastery of chamber music. He even edited and championed Schubert’s works\, and his Piano Trio in C minor can be seen as a late-Romantic response to Schubert’s early Romantic ideals. Brahms wrote this trio – his last for violin\, cello\, and piano – during the summer of 1886\, which he spent on Lake Thun in Switzerland. From the windows of his room\, Brahms could look out over the lake to the immense glaciers of the Bernese Highlands\, and many believe that the power of that rugged view made itself felt in the music Brahms composed there. The Piano Trio in C minor certainly communicates tension from its opening instant. \nSchubert’s Piano Trio in E-flat was the only one of his large-scale and serious instrumental works that was actually published before his death. This trio shows the range of Schubert’s invention\, in the dramatic announcement of the first theme\, and in the rich melodies which follow it to its jubilant end. \nProgram \nBrahms Piano Trio in Cm.\, Op. 101\nSchubert Piano Trio in E-flat\, D.929 \nLouisa Stonehill – Violin\, Thomas Mesa – Cello & Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Violin Sonatas by Mozart\, Fauré\, & Franck
DESCRIPTION:These three violin sonatas are most obviously connected by their key of A major which is historically associated with brightness\, lyricism\, and warmth – qualities that lend themselves well to the violin’s natural singing quality. But diving deeper than that\, together they form a compelling artistic trajectory. \nMozart’s Sonata for Violin and Piano in A is a staple of the classical repertoire and serves as the foundation on this musical path as it lays the groundwork for later sonatas. Next comes Fauré\, who brings the element of French lyricism to the sonata structure. Fauré admired Classical form\, and in his Violin Sonata in A he keeps that structure while expanding harmonic language\, carrying Mozart’s clarity into a more expressive and openly passionate 19th-century version. Finally\, we have our late-romantic culmination\, Franck’s Violin Sonata in A\, which is among his most well-known compositions and widely considered one of the finest sonatas for violin and piano ever written. This work is full of emotion and is spectacularly cyclical\, meaning themes recur across movements\, creating a unified narrative arc. \nProgram \nMozart Sonata for Piano & Violin in A\, K.526\nFauré Violin Sonata in A\, Op. 13\nFranck Violin Sonata in A \nLouisa Stonehill – Violin & Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Piano Quartets by Schubert\, Dohnányi\, & Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Uncover three hidden gems of chamber music and follow the journey of this chain of stylistic influence from Schubert’s impact on phrasing in Romantic chamber music taken up by Brahms\, who in turn influenced Dohnányi. Dohnányi was a Hungarian composer\, educated in Budapest\, and Brahms was heavily influenced by Hungarian folk music. Vienna\, where Schubert lived\, was a cultural hub with strong links to Hungarian music and musicians. \nSchubert’s Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F really functions as a mini piano concerto\, with the piano given the spotlight. Dohnányi’s Piano Quartet in F sharp minor and Brahms’s Piano Quartet in Gm are both prolific but at the same time stylistically contrasting works. They both feature the piano as well\, as is reflected in their titles. \nProgram \nSchubert Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F\, D.487\nDohnányi Piano Quartet in F#m.\nBrahms Piano Quartet No. 1 in Gm.\, Op. 25 \nLouisa Stonehill – Violin\, Masumi Per Rostad – Viola\, Thomas Mesa – Cello\, Nicholas Burns – Piano

SUMMARY:Homeschool Program Featuring Piano Quartets by Schubert\, Dohnányi\, & Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Uncover three hidden gems of chamber music and follow the journey of this chain of stylistic influence from Schubert’s impact on phrasing in Romantic chamber music taken up by Brahms\, who in turn influenced Dohnányi. Dohnányi was a Hungarian composer\, educated in Budapest\, and Brahms was heavily influenced by Hungarian folk music. Vienna\, where Schubert lived\, was a cultural hub with strong links to Hungarian music and musicians. \nSchubert’s Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F really functions as a mini piano concerto\, with the piano given the spotlight. Dohnányi’s Piano Quartet in F sharp minor and Brahms’s Piano Quartet in Gm are both prolific but at the same time stylistically contrasting works. They both feature the piano as well\, as is reflected in their titles. \nProgram – Excerpts from: \nSchubert Adagio and Rondo Concertante in F\, D.487\nDohnányi Piano Quartet in F#m.\nBrahms Piano Quartet No. 1 in Gm.\, Op. 25 \nLouisa Stonehill – Violin\, Masumi Per Rostad – Viola\, Thomas Mesa – Cello\, Nicholas Burns – Piano
