William Howard and Dentons – Three Trios: Beethoven, Shostakovitch, Dvořák

We welcome back three great friends of the Goods Shed, William Howard (piano) Matthew Denton (violin) and Emma Denton (cello). This time, they are in Piano Trio ensemble and will be playing for us three quite different trios; each with its own particular appeal and history.

Programme
Beethoven Piano Trio in D major Op,.70 No.1 The Ghost
Shostakovich Piano Trio No.2 in E minor Op.67

Interval

Dvořák Piano Trio No.4 in E minor Dumky

Beethoven’s Op.70, No 1, was nicknamed “the Ghost”, although not by the man himself, and the clue is found while listening to the second movement.

In complete contrast, the Shostakovich trio was one he felt compelled to write at the height of WWII: one of just two piano trios in his entire output.

The final composition, from Dvořák, is his fourth and most famous piano trio, featuring a series of musical folk-tales or “Dumky” that carry us along in alternate moods of reflection and exuberance.
