Music in Quiet Places
Saturday 18 May, 7.30pm
The Church of St Mary the Virgin Main Street, Mursley,Buckinghamshire MK17 ORT
A concert that includes the romantic Serenade for String Trio by Hungarian composer Ernst von Dohnanyi and works for clarinet and strings by Carl Stamitz (a contemporary of Mozart) and Johann Hummel — his Quartet for clarinet and strings in E flat major (1808). Hummel’s music had an influence on the early compositions by Chopin and Schumann. He was a composer who was extremely well known in his lifetime for his attractive musical style. His music fell out of fashion after his death but is being rediscovered today.
There will be refreshments at the interval.

The Church of St Mary the Virgin Church Lane Thornborough Buckinghamshire MK18 2DG
The concert will include Haydn String Quartet Op.54 No.2, and Mozart String Quintet in G minor. The Haydn Quartet includes a remarkable slow movement — a beautiful hymn-like melody over which the first violin plays a Hungarian-style improvisation. The Mozart Quintet is known as a ‘viola’ quintet owing to the second viola part which imparts to the music a richness of timbre with the extra inner voice.
