Intermission

Alexander Tansman (1897–1986):
Melodie from Suite-divertissement for Piano Quartet

Our composition teachers all solemnly agreed: you cannot call a single repeated note a melody. Tansman uses only one – not more – note in the leading line. He calls it a “Melody”. Maybe our teachers should reconsider...

Meta4


Weekly season ticket I is no longer valid after this concert.

The shortest Waltz ever written. But – Chopin’s promise does not hold. For now it might even take two minutes. Or maybe Paavali will break the world record…

Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849):
Waltz in D flat, Op. 64/1 "Minute Waltz"
Jumppanen


Jean Sibelius:
Valse triste, Op. 44/1 (arr. for Piano by the composer)

Fantasy on Strauss Waltzes for two Pianos 
Bogino, Kimanen


Intermission

The longest waltz ever written, the finale of the Enescu Octet is like a farewell to the 10 minute maximum span and unreflective efficiency of the Wiener Waltz. The content of Enescu's waltz makes it one of the most substantial and sophisticatedly beautiful in the history of music. In itself a phenomenon, the work of the 19-year-old Enescu sets standards never equalled in the history of chamber music since Mendelssohn Bartholdy. It is as if the contest between these two geniuses produced two lasting winners.

George Enescu (1881–1955):
String Octet in C, Op. 7 
Danel Quartet, Enescu Quartet
