New York Philharmonic String Quartet & Daniil Trifonov, Piano, at 92Y (Site)

Sunday December 1, 2019, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

$53.00

“A virtuoso pianist is a virtuoso composer, too,” writes The New York Times of Daniil Trifonov.

In this exciting program with the New York Philharmonic String Quartet, both aspects of that virtuosity are showcased in the New York premiere of Trifonov’s Piano Quintet. The program begins with Mozart’s fourteenth string quartet in G Major, the first of six quartets that Mozart wrote as an homage to Joseph Haydn. Considering its nickname, “spring,” the piece is unsurprisingly sunny in disposition, nevertheless making striking use of chromatics to send parts of the first movement into numerous far-flung tonal areas. The Mozart is followed by the string quartet in F Major of Maurice Ravel, which was also meant as an homage, this time to Claude Debussy. Despite the work’s dedication to the older iconoclast, the piece itself stays largely within traditional forms; a first movement of languorous beauty gives way to a modal scherzo, a breathtaking slow movement, and a fast, rhythmic finale.
