Schubert’s seminal chamber composition, the "Piano Quintet In A Major", D667, commonly known as "The Trout" or "Die Forelle", is one of greatest pieces of music ever penned. The rich textures and lovely melody create an unforgettable musical experience. This fine celebration of nature’s beauty stems from a summer trip in the Austrian Alps which inspired the young Schubert to rework a song into this complex chamber-piece. Composed of five alternating movements, "The Trout" uses unique orchestration (substituting a double bass for the second violin), and gives special emphasis to the piano as well. All the instruments take an equal role, and this may also be a reason for the piece’s eternal popularity. "The Trout" instantly brings to mind the calm serenity of the summer mountain air, and its sparkling melody and gentle poignancy leave a particularly happy feeling in both player and listener. "The Trout" is a joy-filled piece but at the same time is filled with a serene quality that makes it one of the most exhilarating pieces for any musician to play, and one of the most important compositions for any musician to learn.
This book/CD package consists of a printed bass part and a compact disc which includes two versions of each song from the book. The first version is a complete version with The Classic String Quartet, and Harriett Wingreen, pianist, that you can practice along with. The second version includes the Classic String Quartet, minus the bassist, along with Wingreen's piano accompaniment, that you will use for performances!
