Chamber Music plans
Saturday December 01 2007
I finished my quintet performance yesterday, where we played the Ligeti Six Bagatelles. Tough piece to put together, but I’m glad I had the opportunity to play it and throw myself into it. I’ve never played a piece with such difficult subdivisions at such quick tempi. Next quarter Helena and I are going to work on the Telemann Tafelmusic quartet in d minor, Lalliet Terzetto, Poulenc Trio, and something else. I and the hornist from my quintet are also going to tackle the Reinecke Trio.

Hey Cooper, I LOVE the Ligeti, it is really not so hard once you get it together. What a great piece. Also the Poulenc I have played with various bassoon players and it is fun and schmotzy. Another piece I would give my eyeteeth to play again is the Poulenc Sextet - really wonderful piece for WW5+piano. Reinecky is great too - I love chamber music. Let me know when you are playing - Eugene is not THAT far away!
PS - where did you do you concerto audition? Did you post that and I missed it?
