Schubert’s Trout Quintet

Schubert’s Trout Quintet
A stellar cast of musicians combines for two classical masterpieces in the final concert of Cordelia Williams’ series. Brahms wrote his Piano Trio at the age of 20, but then substantially revised it 35 years later resulting in a work which is both youthful and mature. Schubert’s upbeat and joyful work has become one of the most popular pieces of chamber music. Written at the request of a music patron who particularly liked the composer’s song ‘Die Forelle’ (The Trout) and asked him to incorporate it, Schubert created a set of variations as part of the work’s fourth movement.
