About the music

Mozart was in the midst of writing his finest chamber music when he wrote the “Kegelstatt” Trio K.498, which was originally scored for clarinet, viola and piano. Mozart wrote the trio, which has been described as a “work of intimate friendship and love” with the intention that it be played at home amongst friends. Mozart displays mature mastery in writing the finest Viennese chamber music and turning it into an inexpressible delight.

Meanwhile, Schumann wrote one of his most popular chamber works, his piano quartet in E-flat Op.47 in 1842, during his so-called “year of chamber music”. It is an intimate work of delicate character which naturally incorporates all the key features of classical chamber music: melody, counterpoint, motivic development, heart-felt song, a quicksilver scherzo, and a fugue, which come together for a rich composite that pays tribute to Schumann's study of the masters: Haydn, Mozart and especially Beethoven.
