BEETHOVEN - Piano Trio Op.1 No.3 in C minor 

​DVORAK - Piano Trio No.3 Op.65 in F minor 

​

Witness three of Australia’s most compelling musicians unite for an evening of richly romantic and dramatic piano trios. Acclaimed pianist Kristian Chong returns to the Primrose Potter Salon alongside leading Australian musicians Dale Barltrop (violin) and Richard Narroway (cello) in an unmissable chamber music performance. Beethoven’s trio brims with intensity and structural innovation, marking his break from classical tradition, while Dvořák’s unfolds with sweeping lyricism, shifting from dark introspection to a triumphant, heartfelt finale.

BEETHOVEN - Sonata for Piano and Horn in F (transcribed for cello and piano)

SCHUBERT - Arpeggione Sonata
 

​The legendary Timo-Veikko Valve from the Australian Chamber Orchestra reunites with Kristian in these two sonatas that were not intended for performance by the cello. Beethoven's Sonata for Piano and Horn was written for the Natural Horn, and Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata was for the Arpeggione - essentially a bowed guitar! The Schubert in particular is revered and played by many other instruments, and Beethoven an early masterwork that shows vitality and vibrancy.
