Schubert trios/1 Presented by Liszt Academy

It is a centuries-old tradition to associated different characters and moods with keys. In 1806, Christian Schubart, librettist for the Schubert song Trout, considered that A major “includes declarations of innocent love, satisfaction with one’s state of affairs; hope of seeing one’s beloved again when parting; youthful cheerfulness and trust in God.” There are two works on the programme of the first concert in the Schubert trios series that revolve around this key emanating positive associations. In addition to the composer’s most virtuoso, fourth violin-piano sonata, in the second half of the concert the ensemble, made up of the cream of Hungarian chamber musicians, and with the inclusion of the young French-Belgian musician Camille Thomas, perform the popular Trout Quintet. Schubert’s second violin-piano sonata in A minor is positioned between the two works in A major.
