From him we will hear Prelude, Marine et Chansons, three utterly magical movements for flute, harp and string trio. Afterwards we offer Beethoven's radiant, sunny quintet for piano and winds in E-flat major, a direct tribute to his esteemed colleague Mozart. And after the interval we will enjoy one of Arnold Schönberg's most popular works: Verklärte Nacht for string sextet, based on Richard Dehmel's poem about guilt, forgiveness and lasting love. Schönberg's music transforms as the poem's pair of lovers come to understand each other, and the night air is truly transformed. Programme: Ropartz: Prelude, Marine et Chansons Beethoven: Quintet in E-flat major, Op. 16 Schönberg: Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4
