This concert is an exploration of the richness and diversity of the chamber music repertoire, from intense lyricism to expressive virtuosity, through works that combine emotion, color, and subtle dialogue.
Leoš Janáček’s Sonata for Violin and Piano opens the programme with its incisive and poetic language. Inspired by the rhythms and melodies of Moravian folk music, the work blends energy, raw emotion, and passionate exchanges between violin and piano, creating a sound world that is both original and deeply human.
The programme continues with Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Six Pieces for Piano Four Hands, short compositions full of color. Lyrical, tender, and brilliant in turn, these pieces reveal the composer’s keen sense of timbre and balance, transforming the piano for four hands into a miniature orchestra of refined virtuosity.
The concert concludes with Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, a masterpiece of clarity and elegance. Alternating lively movements and lyrical cantilenas, the trio unfolds subtle dialogues between violin, cello, and piano, revealing the young composer’s maturity and the intimate expressiveness of the three-voice ensemble.
Together, these three works offer a captivating panorama of chamber music, where emotion, virtuosity, and poetry respond to one another with intensity and refinement.
