Our Daily Lives - The Music of the Spheres Society
This program features music by Beethoven, Poulenc and Dvorak that reflects on life and its necessities, friendship, and nationalism.
BEETHOVEN - Trio for piano, clarinet and cello, Op. 11
POULENC - Sonata for clarinet and piano, FP184
DVORAK - Piano Trio No. 4 "Dumky"
Van Cliburn Competition gold medalist Jon Nakamatsu and Tchaikovsky Competition medalist Bion Tsang join MOTSS favorite Jon Manasse and artistic director Stephanie Chase!
Beethoven's delightful trio is partly inspired by a popular Viennese song containing the phrase "Before I go to work, I need something to eat."
Dedicated to his friend Arthur Honegger, a fellow member of Les Six, Poulenc's Sonata was commissioned by jazz great Benny Goodman, who premiered it (after Poulenc's sudden death in 1963) with pianist Leonard Bernstein.
The word "Dumky" refers to the dumka, or an epic ballad of a somber nature containing contrasting cheerful sections. Dvorak's "Dumky Trio" is among his most beloved chamber music compositions and dates from 1891.
