Louis Theodore Gouvy: Serenade for Piano Quartet op. 31 Camille Saint-Saëns: Piano Quartet in B-flat major op. 41
Gabriel Fauré: Piano Quartet in C minor op. 15

The French Romanticism unfolds its own sound world in the piano quartet: elegant, rich in color, and full of melodic sophistication. Three selected works enter into a multifaceted dialogue in this matinee – sometimes playful, sometimes dramatic, and always characterized by fine sound culture.
The opening piece is the “Serenade for Piano Quartet” by the German-French composer Louis Theodore Gouvy – a light-footed, charming work that navigates between classical clarity and romantic expression.
With the “Piano Quartet in B-flat major op. 41,” Camille Saint-Saëns demonstrates how French spirit and formal mastery merge into a lively, virtuosic sound image.
Closing the concert is Gabriel Fauré’s “Piano Quartet in C minor op. 15” – a work full of melancholic depth and harmonic finesse, already hinting at the world of Impressionism.
