Schubert’s “Trout” Quintet
Spa Little Theater 58 Roosevelt Drive, Saratoga Springs, NY, United StatesThe musicians of CMS, led by Artistic Director Wu Han, perform Schubert’s iconic and charismatic “Trout” quintet. Noted for its unique instrumentation and light-hearted nature the work has endured as one of the most significant pieces of the chamber repertoire. The program begins with the often-overlooked music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (the oldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach) featuring his Fugue in F minor, arranged for string trio by non-other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose Adagio and Fugue in C minor and joyful piano quartet in E-flat major round out the program.
