  • Piano Trio No. 1 (Trio concertant) in F sharp minor, Op. 1/1, M. 1 (1840)
    1. Andante con moto [0:00]
    2. Allegro molto [10:12]
    3. Finale: Allegro maestoso [17:32]
    This is the first trio for piano, violin and cello by Belgian-French composer César Franck (1822-1890). Composed at age 18, this trio was Franck's début composition, and in it he already makes use of the cyclic form which would characterize many of his later works. As Franck's disciple Vincent d'Indy wrote in Cobbett's encyclopedia of chamber music, "With its budding genius, this trio (Op.1 No.1) marks an epoch in the history of musical evolution... alone at this period, the young composer ventured to plan his first important work according to ideas which Beethoven did little more than touch on in the last years of his life."
    Although this isn't the same breathtaking, classic performance by Richter, Kagan and Gutman posted earlier on my channel, the Trio Novanta also gives a very admirable account of the work here. Here is a link to the recording by Richter, Kagan and Gutman:

      @@knutheymann6919 Indeed Knut and for real, I totally agree. Then again here it's César Franck, so unfortunately not that well know in his own country (mine as well). But I reckon and understood that composers such as Debussy, Ravel etc. are much often played and listened abroad than they're here, so it comforts me ;-).

    I just love Franck's approach to cyclic form. The moments where themes from different sections unite are so bloody satisfying. I know this is usually a thing with Franck's music, but this piece is just exceptional.

    • @thelonearchitect
      @thelonearchitect Před 4 lety +1

      I don't think i'm mature enough to see how Franck's music is cyclic, to me it really looks like the kind of sonata form we can hear in Beethoven. But I feel like i'm missing something.

    • @797brm
      @797brm Před 3 lety +8

      Anthony Cyrille Beethoven didn’t do do much cyclic chamber music, his Symphonies you can hear great examples. Cyclic refers to reusing themes directly that were first heard in earlier movements. Beethoven and earlier composers didn’t do direct quotations, mainly there would be subtle nods. Franck takes a more direct approach when he quotes passages from earlier works

    • @tempusfugit2612
      @tempusfugit2612 Před 3 lety +4

      Yes, roughly speaking, cyclic form is about reusing musical material to create a sense of unity within a mutliple-section work. In this piece it's all over the place but the most promiment example is arguably when the second theme of the first movement is repurposed (somewhat unexpectedly) as an exalted finale. You have this long, ecstatic dominant preparation and then finally comes release. And come it does.

    This firstborn by César Franck is a piece which struck me with its passionate intensity, driving rhythms, the terseness of its main theme and the masterful way in which he structured each movement. Although the first theme left the impression of being monotonous, after listening to this several times, I cannot feel indifferent to how it has been woven into every aspect of this trio. This is a marvellous masterpiece that should be played more frequently.

  • @jcsv12345

    This is a most interesting work. While the Vincent d'Indy comments make one think this was God's gift to music, one cannot help but be mesmerized by the driving rhythms.
    For me, the most impressive part is how this written more in a double concerto, with the piano playing the role of the orchestra, complete with the orchestral color. This almost forsees Bartok's use of the piano as a percussion instrument, but the part is so much more pianistic in this.

    cool to see how much his use of cyclic form was with him from the very beginning... although the cyclic form here seems a little more forced than in some of his later works (in particular, bringing back the scalar chorale-like theme [originally in F# major] in the second movement seemed a little too much too soon imo)... but WOW when it comes back in the 3rd movement, that moment is easily as satisfying as his most successful cyclic form moments-like, say, the C major climax of the last movement of the violin sonata, or the return of the chorale theme in the prelude choral & fugue. It's worth listening to the whole piece through just for the sheer satisfaction of moments like those
