MOZART Fantasia in C minor K. 475 ▪ 1785

Lili BOULANGER Nocturne ▪ 1911
▪ Neoromantic character piece rendering moods of the night: quietude, reflection, perhaps romance and melancholy or even restlessness and fantasy—for violin and piano
Norbert BURGMÜLLER Duo in Eb Major Op. 15 ▪ 1834
▪ inventive and lyrical, with rich harmonies—for clarinet and piano
Jules DEMERSSEMAN Grande fantaisie de concert sur “Oberon” Op. 52 ▪ 1866
▪ scintillating thriller based on themes from Carl Maria von Weber’s opera, Oberon, or The Elf King’s Oath
SCHUBERT Sonata in C Major “Grand Duo” Op. 140 / D.812 ▪ 1824
▪ a towering masterpiece, symphonic and elaborate in dimensions and character, graciously unfolding in 4 movements—originally for piano 4-hands, here performed in a 19th century arrangement for piano trio by Robert Wittmann
