About the programme
This programme brings together two of the most representative works of the Romantic piano quartet repertoire.
Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms shared an artistic and personal relationship that occupies a central place in nineteenth-century music history. The works heard in this concert reveal two different approaches to chamber music: a more open and fluid writing in Schumann, and a denser, more expansive construction in Brahms.
Performed within the same evening, these two scores offer a privileged view of one of the richest periods of the European chamber music repertoire.
