Description

Classical Bookends:
Haydn and Schubert

Audiences at Music@Menlo’s inaugural season viewed the Classical period through the lens of the era’s undisputed holy trinity: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. This season, Music@Menlo frames Classicism with the period’s two bookend composers. The first half of the program comprises two mature works by Joseph Haydn, the virtual inventor of the Classical style. Haydn’s Piano Trio in e minor and “Sunrise” Quartet (the latter work composed six years after Mozart’s untimely death) demonstrate the composer’s fully crystallized innovations of musical form and expression. The program concludes with Franz Schubert’s Octet for winds and strings, a late masterpiece rooted in Viennese Classicism, yet prophetic of the Romantic style.
