Aes Duo

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) Trois Romances, op. 94 Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Sonata for viola and piano in E-flat major, op. 120 no. 2 This program brings together two iconic pages of German Romanticism for wind instrument and piano. Les Trois Romances, op. 94, by Robert Schumann display an intimate and poetic language. Avec la Sonate in E-flat major, op. 120 no. 2, by Johannes Brahms extends this tradition in an expansive and deeply lyrical writing style. This work bears witness to the composer's late fascination with the expressive colors of the clarinet.
