The work’s chequered history saw it originally written for string quintet. It was then revised for piano duo, before Brahms’ friend and mentor Clara Schumann’s recommendation to reshape it again. The version for string quartet and piano, which we hear this evening, was premiered in 1865. Writing to Brahms after its first performance, conductor Hermann Levi declared: ‘The Quintet is beautiful beyond words. Anyone who did not know it in its earlier forms…would never believe that it was not originally thought out and designed for the present combination of instruments… You have turned a monotonous work for two pianos into a thing of great beauty, a masterpiece of chamber music…’.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">The concert opens with Haydn’s work.

Clementi knew that even those members of the family who couldn’t sing or play a conventional instrument nonetheless needed opportunities for display. His Twelve Waltzes with accompaniment of tambourine and triangle form his answer to this dilemma. The instruments are cunningly chosen to complement the Grecian dresses of those high-waisted Jane Austen heroines, and to display their arms even as they frowned over their complicated notated percussion parts. One suspects that perhaps they ended up simply tinkling at random – but ours will be a musicologically rigorous performance of Clementi’s original conception, enhanced by a jolly orchestration such as may have graced a Lord-Lieutenant’s ball.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">In between sets of waltzes, students will play some of Clementi’s Sonatinas on our 1796 Broadwood pianoforte.

Marianna was the dedicatee of a sonata by Clementi, and six by Haydn. The concert paints a rounded picture of musical life in Vienna in the 1780s.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">The pianist Marianna d’Auenbrugger died just after her twenty-third birthday. The Viennese Court Composer, Antonio Salieri, her composition teacher, was so upset that he composed a special Ode in her memory. He published it, along with her own Piano Sonata in E flat. ‘Her first and last Opus’ laments the title page.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Our concert includes both these pieces, along with sonatas that Haydn and Clementi dedicated to Maria. We also include a recently discovered three-way collaboration between Salieri, his arch-rival, Mozart, and a composer called Cornetti. They united in welcoming back to the stage the soprano Nancy Storace (Mozart’s first Susanna). Nancy had lost her voice after a nervous breakdown, and this piece was written for her return to an adoring public in 1785.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><a%20href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/news/artistic-temperaments-festival-2024/"%20style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Find out what else is on for Artistic Temperaments Festival</span></a><br /></p><p><br /></p>"^^http://purl.org/xtypes/Fragment-XHTML

Its role throughout Spain’s diverse cultural heritage is an achievement that few other instruments can match.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">At the end of the 19th Century, with musical nationalism on the rise, Issac Albéniz sought to use the sound of the guitar as inspiration for his piano playing. In doing so, he created music that, on many occasions, feels more at home on the guitar.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">At the same time, Francisco Tárrega, the self-styled ‘Chopin of the guitar’, aimed to elevate the guitar from mere street instrument to an expressive vehicle of music making. Through his arrangements, technical innovations and memorable original works, he succeeded. He paved the way for the guitar’s admittance into the world’s important concert halls.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Since then, many composers have taken up the mantel left by these pioneers. Contemporary composers such as Salvador Brotons, Vicente Acensio, Juan Erena, and Joaquín Rodrigo have reinvented the Spanish guitar. They have pushed to new frontiers and in doing so, have reached a truly international audience.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Jonathan Parkin is described as ‘an immensely gifted and talented musician’ by BBC Radio 3.

→ dcterms:description → "<p><strong><a href="https://www.camillageorge.com/">Camilla George</a> is a visionary saxophonist, composer, bandleader and innovator.</strong> Her strong cultural roots and love of fusing African and Western Music has informed her own unique style. Her music is a hypnotising blend of Afrofuturism, hip hop and jazz. It has a politically-minded subtext that has a powerful connection to her Nigerian identity, lineage and heritage, reflecting African history, culture and slavery.</p><p>Born in Eket, Nigeria, Camilla grew up listening to Fela Kuti, as well as Jackie McLean and Charlie Parker. In 2009, she joined award-winning band Jazz Jamaica and performed with special guest, Ernest Ranglin at Ronnie Scott’s jazz club. They continue to perform all over the world.</p><p>In 2014, Camilla formed her own celebrated project showcasing the stars of the new UK Jazz Scene. Camilla’s debut album, <em>Isang</em> (pronounced E-SANG which means ‘journey’ in Ibibio her native language) received huge critical praise. Her follow up album, <em>The People Could Fly</em>, featured special guest Omar, as well as respected guitarist Shirley Tetteh. The album looked at tales that slaves passed onto their children through generations. Whilst full of sorrow, it was a story of hope for black people and mankind - that we can one day live together in harmony.</p><p>Her most recent album,<em> Ibio Ibio</em>, is a tribute to her tribe the Ibibio people of South Eastern Coastal Nigeria. The album features an incredible lineup, including hip hop drummer, Daru Jones, Birmingham based rapper, Lady Sanity and Sam Jones.</p><p><em>Ibio Ibio is a celebration of roots, creation and community. The Ibibio people stand for community and togetherness and in these increasingly strange times, this is something that gives me guidance, hope and comfort.</em><strong> Camilla George</strong></p><p><strong>Camilla George</strong> saxophone<br /><strong>Rod Youngs</strong> drums<br /><strong>Daniel Casimir</strong> bass<br /><strong>Renato Paris</strong> keys<br /><strong>Sanity</strong> rap<br /></p><p><br /></p>"^^http://purl.org/xtypes/Fragment-XHTML

Bennett also earned a reputation as one of the finest pianists in Europe but on one visit to Leipzig (1836-7) he left a historic sporting legacy, arranging the first cricket match ever played in Germany. Bennett’s Chamber Trio demonstrates Bennett’s skill in combining the German romantic and British pastoral traditions. The first rehearsal Schumann’s Piano Trio No 3 made a deep impression on his wife and fellow composer, Clara. ‘It is original’, she wrote in her diary, ‘and increasingly passionate, especially the scherzo, which carries one along with it into the wildest depths’. Completed in 1845, two years before his death at the age of 38, Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No 2 was the last chamber work the composer lived to see published. He dedicated the score to the violinist and composer, Louis Spohr, and presented it to his sister, Fanny, as a birthday gift.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><a%20href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/cavatina-web.jpg"%20class="img-hyperlink"%20style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34046" src="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2023/06/cavatina-web.jpg.webp" width="296" height="127" alt="" style="margin:5px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border-width:0px;float:none;height:auto;" /></a> </p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/venue-information/cavatina-scheme/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;">FREE TICKETS FOR 8-25 YEAR OLDS TO SELECTED CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS</a></span> Through the generous support of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust, we are able to offer young people aged 8-25 the fantastic opportunity to experience selected concerts absolutely free.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/news/artistic-temperaments-festival-2024/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Find out what else is on for Artistic Temperaments Festival</span></a><br /></p><p><br /></p>"^^http://purl.org/xtypes/Fragment-XHTML

As one of the most important composers in post-liberation South Africa, Ndodana-Breen draws upon personal narratives of his homeland of South Africa. ‘By quoting and paraphrasing aspects of African music and dance, Safika alludes to memories of lives left behind, the people, the songs, the dances, and the connection to the land,’ explains Ndodana-Breen. Composer Undine Smith Moore (1904-1989) references the Black spirituality of her Southern upbringing and that of her South African brothers and sisters in the piano trio <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Soweto </em>(1987).

It also shows that the field has a long way to go in the representation of African descended artists and African-inspired artistry in classical music.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">**</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><a%20href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/cavatina-web.jpg"%20class="img-hyperlink"%20style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34046" src="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2023/06/cavatina-web.jpg.webp" width="296" height="127" alt="" style="margin:5px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border-width:0px;float:none;height:auto;" /></a> </p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/venue-information/cavatina-scheme/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;">FREE TICKETS FOR 8-25 YEAR OLDS TO SELECTED CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS</a></span> Through the generous support of the CAVATINA Chamber Music Trust, we are able to offer young people aged 8-25 the fantastic opportunity to experience selected concerts absolutely free.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Discover more CAVATINA events this season: </span></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/events/artistic-temperaments-pocket-sinfonia/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Artistic Temperaments: Pocket Sinfonia – Friday 9 February, 7.30pm</span></a></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/events/artistic-temperaments-liturina-fortepiano-trio/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Artistic Temperaments: Liturina Fortepiano Trio – Saturday 10 February, 7.30pm</span></a></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.turnersims.co.uk/events/carducci-quartet-anton-lesser/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"><span style="font-weight:700;">Carducci Quartet & Anton Lesser |<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;"> Life, Letters and Friendship </em></span>– Sunday 10 March 3pm</a></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">**</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">About<a href="https://www.castleskins.org/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;"> Castle of Our Skins</a></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Castle of our Skins (COOS) is a Boston-based educational series dedicated to celebrating Black artistry through music. From classrooms to concert halls, COOS invites explorations into Black heritage and culture, spotlighting both unsung and celebrated figures of the past and present. Violist Ashleigh Gordon and composer Anthony R. Green founded COOS in 2013 to address the lack of equity in composer representation on concert stages and the omission of important stories and figures in Black history. A decade on, the organisation still shines as a beacon for diversity in the arts.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">About <a href="https://www.samanthaege.com/" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;color:#ff3366;">Samantha Ege </a></span></p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">Samantha Ege is a musicologist, pianist, and research fellow at the University of Southampton. Her research and repertoire tightly entwine, illuminating 20th-century composers of African descent and women in music. She has published extensively in these areas. As a concert pianist, she made her London debut at the London Festival of American Music in September 2021 and her Barbican debut soon after in November that year. Samantha has since proved a sought-after recitalist and concerto soloist with engagements across the UK, Europe, US, and Canada. Her collaborations with Castle of our Skins represent her first significant engagements as a chamber musician.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Samantha Ege</span> piano, narrator</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;"><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Castle of our Skins</span><br /><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Gabriela Díaz</span> violin<br /><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Matthew Vera</span> violin<br /><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Ashleigh Gordon</span> viola<br /><span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;font-weight:700;">Francesca McNeeley</span> cello<br /></p><p><br /></p>"^^http://purl.org/xtypes/Fragment-XHTML

Announced as a BBC New Generation Artist 2023-25, in summer 2023, Alim made his Royal Albert Hall BBC Proms debut.

His Impromptus were written in the same year as the Impromptus, Op 90, but were not published until 1839, more than a decade after his death. Together with the preceding set, they have become a cornerstone of the piano repertoire.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">In 1911, when he was almost 50, Claude Debussy wrote to the composer Edgar Varèse, ‘I love pictures almost as much as music’. In 1905 he began three sets of compositions depicting or conveying a variety of pictures – images. Book 2 of these includes the evocative <em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Poissons d’or</em> (<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Goldfish</em>). The work is said to be inspired by a painting of two gold-coloured fish on a small Japanese lacquer panel that Debussy owned.</p><p style="margin-bottom:1.5rem;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:16px;background:#ffffff;border:0px;color:#000000;font-family:'open sans', arial, sans-serif;">During the 19th Century, the piano reigned for decades as the centre of home entertainment. To accommodate the increasing desire of the masses for proficiency at the piano, books of études were published. These musical exercises were designed to increase strength and dexterity through repetition of a single technique, such as scales. Chopin’s Études, Op 25 were hailed by Robert Schumann as ‘poems in music’. He coined for it the alternate name ‘<em style="margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;background:transparent;border:0px;">Aeolian Harp</em>‘ for the notes that evoke the whispers of a celestial harp.<br /></p><p><br /></p>"^^http://purl.org/xtypes/Fragment-XHTML
