Abstract
Piano Quartets II
Besides the opera Le nozze di Figaro, Mozart also worked on his first piano quartet K. 478 in 1785. Instead of light salon music, as the publisher had requested, he delivered a work that irritates at the beginning with somber G minor. Robert Schumann's only piano quartet in E-flat major, op. 48, was written in 1842. Whereas in Mozart's work the piano takes center stage as in a concerto, Schumann's four voices are organically balanced.
For our series of brunch and lunch concerts, musicians of the Philharmonia Zürich present work trouvailles in various constellations, familiar pieces in unusual arrangements, and aural adventures the likes of which you’ve never heard before. These chamber concerts take place in the relaxed yet intimate atmosphere of the magnificent Opernhaus Spiegelsaal. Afterwards, we look forward to welcoming you to the new Bernadette Restaurant for brunch or lunch à la carte. Reserve your table with a magnificent view of the glittering Lake Zurich and the lively Sechseläutenplatz at +41 44 268 64 64 or online at www.bernadette.ch.
