Stuart-Liff Collection Library: Thursday, 5th December at 4.00 pm Mendelssohn: Trio No. 1 in D In this series of talks on Western classical music, Dr. Cavas Bilimoria takes listeners through musical concepts, the lives of composers and their famous works, interspersed with examples from recorded music. The first talk this month will dive into Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No. 1. Beginning with brilliant piano writing infused with musical drama in the first movement, the composition ends with a masterful climactic movement that brings together the lyrical elements like never before. Stuart-Liff Collection Library: Thursday, 12th December at 4.00 pm Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 (“Italian”) The second talk this month by Dr. Cavas Bilimoria will discuss Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, also known as the Italian. The composer captures in musical form, the sights, smells and emotions inspired by his holiday in Italy. Published in 1851—four years after his death—it is among the most brilliant pieces of music he composed and has remained one of the best-loved symphonies in Western classical music. Entry free on a first-come-first-served basis.
