“Reflections: Part Four” will demonstrate the development of the Trio form from the Baroque era to the Classical, followed by the blooming of the Piano Quartet form, not only by simply adding an instrument, but by making all voices equal partners. The concert and the chamber series will come to a close and full circle from the opening program by adding yet one more instrument to perform Robert Schumann’s rousing Piano Quintet.

J.S. Bach’s reputation as a composer, as unbelievable as it sounds today, declined after his death and was not revived until Felix Mendelssohn championed it some 75 years later. “Reflections: Part Three” will take us from Bach’s Baroque era with its famous Trio Sonata format, to a string trio by Beethoven (who was terribly frustrated that he could never write a fugue that could compare to Bach), and finally to the ever popular Piano Trio by Mendelssohn, Bach’s promoter-in-chief.

“Reflections: Part Two” picks up where “Part One” leaves off. A cello sonata from Beethoven’s late period contrasts with the Violin Sonata heard in “Part One,” and is contrasted with a duo for viola and cello by Paul Hindemith. This time, Bach is paired with Fancy on a Bach Air by John Gorigliano (The Red Violin), written 270 years later. Concluding the program will be Robert Schumann’s powerful Piano Quartet, contrasting his respectful underscoring for Bach as heard in “Part One.”
