The art of chamber music is multi-faceted, with composers using their creative forces to constantly re-imagine the myriad possibilities offered by intimate ensembles. From Beethoven’s early piano quartet, a model of classical elegance and efficiency, we will quickly move to Dvořák in a large-scale work which, with the unusual addition of a double bass, is richly orchestral in timbre.
