Bedřich Smetana – Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 15
Elegy begins with Anglo-African composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's clarinet quintet. This work, historically under-performed despite praise it has received over decades, draws heavy influence from many romantic composers, especially Antonin Dvořák. The evening finishes with Smetana's famously emotional piano trio, written as an elegy to his eldest daughter, who tragically died at the age of four.
The broadcast will take place October 5 at 7:30pm Eastern / 4:30pm Pacific. Streaming through October 31 at 11:59pm Eastern / 8:59pm Pacific.
