Quartet-1
A last minute offer on somebody’s house changed tonight’s planned quartet-playing session into a trio-playing session. Before leaving campus, I had a quick trawl through the library, and dug out some Beethoven and Haydn string trios, and Schubert’s piano trio No.1 in B flat. Alex the viola player transformed himself into a violinist for the first part of the evening (which, after a clef-settling-in period, went ok!). I was, I’m afraid, struck by the length and repititous nature of the Schubert, though it’s definitely great music!
