Piano Quintet

MARIA CALLAS MUSEUM - CITY OF ATHENS

The concert's two piano quintets, the first composed in 1887 and the second in 1914, have several, essential common grounds: both are composed under a romantic idiom and draw a significant part of their themes from the special musical tradition of their composers' countries, Czechia and Hungary correspondingly. In addition, in both Quintets, piano and strings interact dynamically and intensely, thus rendering them two among the most seducing works of the piano quintet genre.
