Music to Chill By---Trio by Schubert Edition!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

This is the slow movement to a very popular trio by Schubert. That's one piano, one violin, and one cello.
Official name Piano Trio in E Flat Major Opus 100. Written in 1827, about a year before the composer's death at age 31. That's younger than Mozart. Mozart died at 34.

I cannot think of any other famous person who packed so much wisdom and artistry into his life in so few years.


Enjoy!!!

More information:
The last Piano Trio in E-flat major, Op. 100, D.929, is a gigantic masterpiece that, with Beethoven’s Archduke, could be considered among the few greatest piano trios in the traditional repertory. It is gigantic in length and breadth, wealthy in thematic ideas, constant transformations and ingenious details of construction. A typical performance runs to nearly forty-five minutes and this without taking the repeat in the first movement, and, after Schubert’s edits in the finale, removing its repeat as well as some one hundred additional measures. “Heavenly lengths”, as Schumann would write.

Like much of Schubert’s “late” music, it is grand and profound in a way that goes well beyond the relatively modest context in which he wrote. It was among the few pieces performed in the only public concert featuring Schubert’s music held during his lifetime, the only work published outside Austria before his death. Schumann wrote, “a Trio by Schubert passed across the musical world like some angry comet in the sky”. More intense than its worthy companion, the Piano Trio in B-flat major written around the same time, it flairs with passion, pathos, perhaps even anger, but it is equally saturated with joy, grace and triumphant beauty.

1. Okay,

I've just listened to the Love - Forever Changes album from 1967. The Red Telephone has pretty great string portions. I'm in chill mode.
