The A major Quartet is more gentle and reflective in the first two movements. 26, demonstrates Brahms's habit of composing matching works at the same time, with a variant style of working out his material. It has four themes, pressing onto a molto presto ending. The finale, a bawdy Rondo alla Zingarese, pleases both audiences and players with its drama and fun.
The third movement, Andante, manages to be both stately, warm and expressive, all simultaneously. The second movement, entitled Intermezzo, has muted strings and a wistful melody played over a driving, insistent rhythm. The first movement, based on a four note figure, is rich with inventiveness and vigor. Possibly the first, Piano Quartet in G minor, Op. The first two were written in tandem around 1857, and served to introduce Brahms when he relocated in Vienna, the music capital of Europe. Perhaps the highest achievements of romantic piano quartet writing are the three quartets of Johannes Brahms. The final movement is almost manic, with exuberant themes, one after another, pouring forth. The Andante is highly romantic, a song of love, allegedly to his wife, Clara. The second movement is like a Mendelssohnian scherzo, quick and magical. Of four movements, it begins with a hymn like introduction and then a vigorous, motoric first movement. It is the first masterful quartet of the Romantic era, written in 1842 immediately after his three string quartets, op. The next major work I would select is the Piano Quartet in Eb major, Op. I would not recommend them as standard works, but they are fun to read through. I will mention in passing the three piano quartets by Felix Mendelssohn, opus numbers 1,2, & 3, written when he was only thirteen! They are somewhat simplistic, with florid, difficult piano parts, and simple string writing. The final movement is a Rondo, complete with a jaunty tune, and high spirits. The Andante cantabile is delightfully ornamented. The opening Grave, moves into an Allegro ma non troppo with three main themes. Published in 1801, this is a delightfully melodic work, not quite as hard as many quartets.
There is a piano quartet version of what was originally a wind and piano quintet by Beethoven, Piano Quartet, Op. The second movement, Larghetto, is particularly delicate and lovely. It is perhaps more balanced for the strings than the second Quartet in Eb major, K. Mozart treated all four instruments as equals, a novel development, but the publisher complained they were too hard and refused to pay for them, so Mozart quit after writing two. He contracted to write three quartets in 1785 for Hoffmeister when the combination of piano, violin, viola, and cello was still rather unusual. Without a doubt the first works recommended would be the two piano quartets of Mozart. And so I shall essay to attempt such a list. However, a chamber musician, particularly a pianist, who would like to start acquainting himself or herself with the literature, might appreciate any help in the daunting task. There are probably many different criteria for listing standard chamber music works, so it may be difficult to agree on what works should be included in a standard list. To Composers menu Mozart Beethoven Mendelssohn Schumann Then, get together with your string player friends and have a great time! Pianists interested in playing chamber music should buy the music to all of these works and LEARN the piano part.
