Webern, Mendelssohn, Chausson
Webern’s 1905 Langsamer Satz depicts the young composer’s secret love affair with his cousin—and future wife—through rich harmonies and the beautiful lyricism of the late Romantic era. Referred to as the “master trio of the age,” the dramatic and fiery Piano Trio in C minor by Mendelssohn moves between major and minor modes, offering moments of chaos followed by passages of tranquil harmony. Chausson’s Piano Quartet brings the stunning melodies of French Romanticism to light along with the emotional draw of the Impressionist era.
