    Piano quartet

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Jump to navigationJump to search
    A piano quartet is a chamber music composition for piano and three other instruments, or a musical
    ensemble comprising such instruments. Those other instruments are usually a string trio consisting
    of a violin, viola and cello.
    Piano quartets for that standard lineup were written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert
    Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořák and Gabriel Fauréamong
    others. In the 20th century, composers have also written for more varied groups, with Anton
    Webern's Quartet, opus 22 (1930), for example, being for piano, violin, clarinetand tenor saxophone,
    and Paul Hindemith's quartet (1938) as well as Olivier Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du
    temps (1940) both for piano, violin, cello and clarinet. An early example of this can be found in Franz
    Berwald's quartet for piano, horn, clarinet and bassoon (1819), his opus 1.[1]
    A rare form of piano quartets consist of two pianos with two players at each piano. This type of
    ensemble is informally referred to as "eight-hand piano", or "two piano eight hands". Eight-hand
    piano was popular in the late 19th century before the advent of recordings as it was a mechanism to
    reproduce and study symphonic works. Music lovers could hear the major symphonic works all in the
    convenience of a parlour or music hall that had two pianos and four pianists. Many of the popular
    works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořák were
    transcribed for two piano eight hands. The majority of 8 hand piano music consists of transcriptions,
    or arrangements.
