Written during a difficult year for Mozart, when teaching jobs and commissions had dried up, the Clarinet Quintet is a work of incredible profundity, clothed not in some violent minor key, but in radiant A major. The music smiles through the tears.

fort Wayne history centersunday, october 18, 2015 | 2:30 Pm

rhinehart music center, iPfW The centerpiece of this program is the Brahms Sextet, a work of sunny lyricism that is first evidence of the young composer’s mature genius. Brahms added “extra” instruments to the string quartet and in the process created a musical world rich in harmony and texture.

Bartók’s string QUartet no. 1Wednesday, march 2, 2016 | 7:30 Pm

fort Wayne history centersunday, march 6, 2016 | 2:30 Pm


Hungary’s greatest composer of the 20th century was inspired to write his first work in this genre by a case of unrequited love. Moving from darkness to light, Bartók’s quartet ends quite happily, perhaps indicating the composer’s youthful confidence in a romance that never took root.

Brahms is quoted as having said that Schubert “plays in such a region, at such a height, to which the others are far short of raising themselves.” See and hear why this late work in the short life of a genius is such a masterpiece of elegance, melodic splendor and sensuous intimacy.
