A STRING QUARTET + 1
ELGAR: PIANO QUINTET IN A MINOR, OP. 84, ADAGIO This slow movement in E Major from 1919 is an elegy to the soldiers who died in World War I. The Germans were the first people to appreciate his music, and as a result, Elgar was conflicted about the war. But as a patriotic Brit, he backed it all the way. This movement was played at his funeral in 1934.
At 2:22, the piano asks a question, and each time the passage is played, the answer is slightly different. Its as if the question is, Was this all worth it?
At 4:39, the sun briefly comes out, but it leads to a passage of inconsolable grief at 5:42. Its all the tears of the world rolled into one.
The squall ends, and the opening theme returns in a moment of catharsis. At 7:30, the question is asked again, but this time there is less regret.
The coda at 10:30 is sublime, but there is one last question. This time the answer is, Yes, it was worth the sacrifice, sergeant major.
Sleep well, good and faithful servant.
Elgar: Piano Quintet in A minor, Op. 84, second movement

A STRING QUARTET + 1
SCHUMANN: PIANO QUINTET IN E-FLAT, OP. 44, ALLEGRO BRILLANTEThis is one of the great warhorses of the chamber repertory. In 1842, Robert Schumann wrote one great chamber piece after another, a truly miraculous year. Bob was happily married to Clara, one of the great pianists of her era, and this was intended for her hands. She made it one of her signature pieces, playing it all over Europe.
It opens in a quick 2/2 with a theme in block chords that defines the movement right up front. He uses a G-flat passage to lead into the second subject in B-flat set mainly for the cello. This performance repeats the exposition.
Development starts with a shift to E-flat minor with the piano doing most of the work.
The recapitulation is triumphant. The transitional passage permits the second subject to appear in the correct key of E-flat.
The coda goes like lightning for a bravura finish.

A STRING QUARTET + 1
SCHUMANN: PIANO QUINTET IN E-FLAT, OP. 44, UN POCO LARGAMENTEIn this slow movement in 2/2, Bob stole from Beethoven, whose Symphony #3 in E-flat featured a funeral march in this key as its slow movement. Unlike Beethoven, Schumann decided to use an A-B-A-C-A format.
The B section is in C Major, and the A section returns briefly before an agitato C section in F minor. The agitation slows down for a quiet resolution in F Major.
The C minor material returns for a quiet end in C Major.
