3. Chamber Concert

The matinee on May 17 at 11:00 shines in a variety of colors: a bright B major movement from a clarinet quintet by Mozart—of which the remaining three movements were likely lost due to carelessness—contrasts with Schubert's existentially questioning Fantasy in F minor for piano four hands, composed in his last year of life, 1828. Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes, his successful entry into the New York music scene in 1918, concludes the first part.

Dvořák's Piano Quintet Op. 81 came about by chance: the composer found his early Piano Quintet Op. 5 while tidying up and was reportedly so dissatisfied with it that he immediately began a new composition. The result is a true bouquet of enchantingly beautiful melodies and a masterpiece inspired by folkloric forms such as Dumka, Furiant, or Polka, with which the Music Festival at Schloss Weinzierl will conclude in 2026.
