Robert Schumann’s late works tend to be problematical in that his mind was degenerating. Soon he would end his life in a mental hospital. But here and there, a late work turns out to be a gem. These “Fairy Tales” in four movements were written for an unusual combination of instruments: clarinet, viola and piano.

Schumann had a real gift for writing for clarinet. In addition to chamber works for that instrument, his piano concerto has some really haunting clarinet passages.

Sean Osborn plays clarinet with the Seattle Symphony, and when I was living in Seattle, he was a neighbor.

Roberto Diaz plays viola Thursday night, and he is the head honcho at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. I’ve enjoyed exchanging stories about the place and how it has changed since the 1930's when my mother would plunk down three dollars to rent a practice room when she was secretly teaching herself piano.

I think driving a tank across a pontoon bridge would be a little scary.

Max Bruch (pronounced “brook”) lived a life long enough to see World War I demolish the world he had lived in. His music has been compared to a cross between Mendelssohn and Brahms. Even when the war ended, the few pieces he composed were all in the old style. War? What war?

These pieces are for the same combination as the Schumann Fairy Tales: clarinet, viola and piano. Of the eight pieces in this suite, we will hear three on Thursday night: numbers 2, 5 and 4. This video is of number 4.
