This 10th
volume of articles from my classical music blog Musical Musings is Part Two of the Chamber Music category.
There are many different
combinations of instruments within chamber music. Perhaps the most well-known chamber music combination is the
string quartet, which consists of two violins, viola and cello. But the combinations of instruments range
from two instruments up to nine.
The articles
contained in this ebook range from the 17th century to the 20th
century, with well-known and not so well-known composers represented.
Chamber music by
its nature is a very intimate form of music. There is beautiful, powerful and
passionate music within the genre that is unique to chamber music. I hope this
modest volume adds to the musical pleasure of the listener by giving some
information about the composer and analysis of the works being discussed. There
is also a link to the original article on my blog, which has a performance of
the specific work being discussed, along with some musical examples.
As always, I invite any and all to visit my
classical music blog Musical Musings
for other articles, illustrations and musical examples.
