Le Petit Trianon

Programme

One of the RAM wind trio is unable to play, so the remaining two will now perform, both as a flute and piano duo, as well as soloists.

  • 1685-1750

    Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g’mein, BWV 734 (Bach)

    “Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g’mein”, or “Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice”, is a Lutheran hymn, written in 1523 by Martin Luther. It is one of Luther’s early hymns and considered by some as one of his finest. It was published as one of eight songs in 1524 in the first Lutheran hymnal, the Achtliederbuch.

  • 1770-1827

    Sonata No. 13, Op.27 No 1 (Beethoven)

    Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat major, Op. 27 No. 1, “Quasi una fantasia”, is a sonata composed by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1800–1801. Beethoven was about 30 years old when he wrote the sonata. He had already made a name for himself in Vienna as pianist and composer and was beginning to explore alternatives to the classical-era compositional procedures that he had largely adhered to during the 18th century. The most famous works of his “middle period”, often emphasizing heroism, were yet to come.

  • 1900-1936

    Three pieces for solo flute (Ferroud)
    i Bergère captive ii Jade iii Toan-Yan, la Fête du Double Cinq

    The french composer Ferroud wrote Trois pièces pour flûte seule in 1920-1921.

  • 1759-1824

    Sicilienne for flute and piano (Paradis)

    Maria Theresia von Paradis (1759 – 1824) was an Austrian musician and composer who lost her sight at an early age, and for whom her close friend Mozart may have written his Piano Concerto No. 18 in B-flat major. She was also in contact with Salieri, Haydn, and Gluck. The most famous composition ascribed to Paradis, the Sicilienne in E-flat major for violin and piano is a musical hoax by a 20th Century violinist Samuel Dushkin. The Sicilienne is based on the Larghetto movement from Carl Maria von Weber’s Violin Sonata in F major, Op. 10, No.1.

  • 1849-1895

    Suite de trois morceaux, Op.116 (Godard)
    i Allegretto. Allegretto ii Idylle. Quasi adagio, molto tranquillo iii Valse

    Benjamin Louis Paul Godard (1849 – 1895) was a French violinist and Romantic-era composer of Jewish extraction, best known for his opera Jocelyn.

    Suite de trois morceaux is written for flute and piano. An expressive piece full of spirit with contrasts and intricate writings within the Flute part, which creates a variety of moods within the piece.
