WAGNER AND BRAHMS, a lecture and recital by Professor Stephen Emmerson and Warwick Adeney, former Concert Master of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. At Radio 4MBS Classic FM, 384 Old Cleveland Road, Coorparoo, Brisbane. 3:00pm to 5:00pm.
This presentation will focus on the complementary relationship between the two dominant figures of German music in the second half of the 19th century, and it will be in two parts. Firstly, Stephen Emmerson will speak about the personal relationship between the composers, as well as their distinct musical priorities. Then there’ll be a 45-minute recital, including of Brahms’, Sonata for piano and violin in A major (Op. 100) (often subtitled “Thun” or “Meistersinger”) and a new suite of excerpts from Die Walküre arranged for violin/viola and piano.
