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.
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.
