Beethoven: Piano Trio No. 4 in B-flat major Op. 11 “Gassenhauer-Trio” / Rosalind Trio 00:00 - Allegro con brio 6:45 - Adagio 11:33 - Allegretto. Theme and Variations "Pria ch'io l'impegno" Piano - Anna Kislitsyna Violin - Alexandr Kislitsyn Cello - Branson Yeast Rosalind Trio - LINKS Website: https://www.rosalindtrio.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rosalindtrio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosalindtrio/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RosalindTrio Email: rosalindtrio@gmail.com This trio was composed by Ludwig van Beethoven during the early years of his career. Also known as the "Gassenhauer" Trio, it is a testament to Beethoven's revolutionary approach to chamber music. Beethoven composed this trio during his early period. It was a time when Beethoven was emerging from the shadow of his predecessors and establishing his unique voice in the musical landscape of Vienna. This period marked the transition from the classical elegance of Mozart and Haydn to the bold innovation that would characterize Beethoven's later works. The Trio in B-flat Major, Op. 11, is notable for its fusion of classical forms with elements of folk music, particularly in the third movement, which features variations on a popular tune of the time, hence earning its nickname "Gassenhauer" (street song). Beethoven's genius shines through in the intricate interplay between the piano, violin, and cello, showcasing his mastery of counterpoint and thematic development.

Johann Sebastian Bach - Chaconne, Partita No. 2 BWV 1004 | Alexandr Kislitsyn

The awesome and eloquent Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004, seems for the most part to follow the conventional outline of the Baroque suite. The concluding movement of Partita No. 2 in D minor, BWV 1004 emphasis the most labyrinthine and intellectually powerful single movement ever devised for an unaccompanied string instrument. This is Bach's famous Chaconne (originally "Ciaccona"), a colossal arched series of 64 stunning variants upon the stark, open-ended four-measure phrase heard at the beginning. Two monumental outer sections in the minor enclose a major-key central episode, and this great structure encompasses every aspect of violin-playing technique and contrapuntal ingenuity that would have been known in Bach's day. The Chaconne, whose duration exceeds 15 minutes (and is thus longer than the rest of the work put together) is often performed as a free-standing movement and has also been widely transcribed for other instruments.
