Robert Kahn - Piano Quartet No. 2, Op. 30 (1899)

[@ghmus7]

How can a composer of such accomplishment have been so forgotten? This is a good as Brahms.

Das Finale hat Ohrwurmqualitäten. Unbedingt hören!

[@ClassicalMusicAndSoundtracks]

The first movement is absolute perfection!

Wunderschöne und lebhafte Interpretation dieses spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Quartetts in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem Klang des Klaviers, seidigem Ton der Violine, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Violoncellos. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Wunderbar vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

Excellent....."The Hohenstaufen dynasty, also known as the Staufer, was a noble family of unclear origin that rose to rule the Duchy of Swabia from 1079, and to royal rule in the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages from 1138 until 1254"......BRAVO from Acapulco!

Very charming, the character of the music reminds me of that of (German too) composer Hermann Goetz!..

Great 1st and 4th movements. For my part I have in my audio archive his Piano Quintet and the 3rd movement of his 1905 Trio in G Minor. I will look up for the Violin Sonata in G minor (1886), the second Violin Sonata in A minor Op. 26 (1897), his Piano quartet Op. 41 (1904), the String Quartet in A minor, Op. 60 (1914) and his Suite, Op. 69 for violin and piano in 1920, From the other authors you mention were close to him I have the Klavierquintett c-moll op.35 of Adolf Busch, the Quartettsatz in c minor (1850) of Joseph Joachim and the 1st and 4th movements of Clara Schumann's Piano Trio Op. 17 in G Minor (1846). Any other great work from these three that you recommend would be great. Thanks for sharing

This is quite charming, and I'm reminded of Josef Rheinberger, another German composer, somewhat older, who also largely sidestepped the grandeur of late Romanticism. I'll bet money that some naysayer will say the work has no real slow movement. Reality check: Neither do several of Beethoven's piano sonatas or his 8th Symphony, so that's not grounds for an automatic demerit.

Wonderful piece. The fragment of music at the very start pays an homage to Dvorak's F-minor piano trio, which begins with (almost) the same musical figure. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH-rn5acaLiZr7c

[@steveegallo3384]

@davidyoung6331 -- yes YES.....Very astute.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

In my audio archive I have selected the 3rd movement of this Dvorak quartet. I re-listened yo the 1st movement you point out and to me it has a similar phrase exactly at the 6.51 you point in your comment (but maybe in other key?). That 1st movement is now also going into my audio archive. Kind regards
