Programme
Alexey Shor: Piano Trio in B-minor
Tsotne Zedginidze: Piano Trio
Franz Schubert: Piano Quintet in A major, "The Trout", D.667
Overview
Romanticism past and present, including the world premiere of young Georgian pianist-composer Tsotne Zedginidze’s brand new Piano Trio.
Lyric romanticism and the whisper of folk music are defining features of Ukrainian-born Alexey Shor’s Piano Trio in B minor. An impassioned Andante con moto opens, full of close dialogue between the three instruments. Then comes a melancholic central Andante, before the multifaceted concluding Moderato. Tsotne Zedginidze’s musical language similarly draws on Romanticism and his own national folk heritage, of Georgia. Composed in 1819, Schubert’s five-movement Piano Quintet in A major is nicknamed the ‘Trout’ on account of its fourth movement theme and variations being based on his earlier song of the same name. Scored with a double bass in place of the usual second violin, it opens on an Allegro vivace dominated by a rippling triplet figure. Next come a serene Andante and a folkily dancing Scherzo. Then after the aforementioned variations comes a jaunty finale containing more rippling triplets.
