    Overview

    Bach’s influence is ever present in Schumann’s Canonic Study in A flat, originally created in 1846 for the pedal piano and performed in Orlando Jopling’s sumptuous arrangement for piano quartet.

    The Schubert Ensemble also explores the enigmatic world of Fauré’s rarely performed Piano Quintet No. 1 before turning to Schumann’s pioneering Piano Quintet in E flat, among the first works to pair string quartet with piano.
