Peasmarsh Chamber Music Festival

Festival Opening

The 2024 Festival opens with some well-loved classics of the chamber repertoire, including Beethoven’s emotional and volatile Kreutzer Sonata (originally dedicated to the violinist George Bridgetower and premiered in infamous circumstances), and Mozart’s Quintet K452, best known as his quintet for piano and winds but first published (10 years after its premiere) in an arrangement for the more conventional line up of piano with string trio. Completing the programme is Berg’s early masterpiece for string quartet – one of his only forays into the chamber music genre.

Mozart Quintet in Eb major, K.452 (arranged for piano quartet)

Berg String Quartet, Op. 3

Beethoven Violin Sonata in A major, Op. 47 ‘Kreutzer’
