Event Details
The free-flowing Fantasy is related to the more structured Variations form, and both are explored through a sumptuous variety of styles in this program. Carl Vine’s beautifully crafted Fantasia for Piano Quintet exploits ever-changing, subtle permutations of a music kernel heard in the opening of this masterful work. Permutations provide the basis of the variations form, explicitly apparent in the theme and variations of the neo-classical Wind Quintet of Carl Nielsen – one of the best compositions of its ilk. Meanwhile the lush French sound-world of Maurice Duruflé acts as a delicious contrast to the humour and delight found in Mozart’s famous Clarinet Quintet.
