Stuart-Liff Collection Library: Thursday, 14th November at 4.00 pm Schubert: Trio No. 1 in B Flat 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 talks in November are all about Schubert, starting with his Piano Trio No. 1. A lively and buoyant work with profound lyricism, he finished composing it in 1828, the last year of his life. Robert Schumann’s words beautifully encapsulate the work: One glance at Schubert’`s trio and the troubles of our existence disappear and all the world is fresh and bright again. Stuart-Liff Collection Library: Thursday, 28th November at 4.00 pm Schubert: Symphony No. 8 (“Unfinished”) This talk, the second in the series this month, explores Schubert’s Symphony No. 8. Why Schubert never finished the work has been an unanswered question in the world of music for over a century. The score includes two movements so remarkable that the moniker ‘`Unfinished’` is all the more vexing. The final page of the second movement contains nine bars, followed by four blank pages. It was in 1960 that musicologist Christa Landon discovered a missing piece that ought to have come before the empty pages, containing bars 10 to 20 and then stopping abruptly. Dr. Cavas Bilimoria’s talk will further unpack the composition. 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.
