Grumiaux Trio
Description by Michael Jameson [-]
Among the greatest works ever penned for the "difficult" combination of violin, viola, and cello, Mozart's sublime and masterful Divertimento for strings trio in E flat major, K. 563, dates from the miraculous summer months of 1788. Although plagued by debts (K. 563 is dedicated to Mozart's fellow freemason Michael Puchberg, who advanced a number of loans to the composer) and anxieties, and saddened by the premature death of his young daughter Theresia on June 29, Mozart produced a string of astounding works during this period, regardless of the adversity of his personal circumstances.
Although string trios were also written by Boccherini and the Haydn brothers, (and later by Schubert, Beethoven Reger, Dohnányi, and others) the genre almost invariably proves troublesome. The absence of a second violin requires that the harmonic texture be reinforced by viola and cello, placing demands upon the players who are often required to exploit extreme registers. Meanwhile, the violin parts are of virtuoso difficulty, and hence the string trio genre was not widely accepted by a musical public which had shown an insatiable appetite for Joseph Haydn's string quartets.
Mozart's Divertimento, K. 563, comprises six movements, the first of which, an Allegro in common time and regular sonata form, opens with a unison tonic descending arpeggio. The lyrical, soaring second subject theme is debated by violin and cello playing a sixth apart, but the labyrinthine fugal exchanges of the development section attain a depth and sonority that seems hardly credible given that just three players are involved. The A flat Adagio has a noble seriousness which echoes the slow movement of Mozart's Symphony No. 39, written earlier that summer. The roots of divertimento style in the popular entertainment music of Mozart's day are re-created in each of the two minuets, the second of which is remarkable for its two trios, in the form of an Austrian Ländler. These enfold a magnificent movement in variation form, an Andante in B flat, built upon a charming folk-like melody. By the time the final variation (a chorale theme played by the viola in half notes against a brilliant counterpoint between violin and cello, both playing running passages) is reached, the original theme is hardly discernible, although it returns in unmistakable form at the close of the movement. Mozart's K. 563 Divertimento ends with a brilliant Rondo in opera buffa style, which again places bravura demands upon each of the three players with its complex instrumental dialogue.

Thanks
Beautiful! More than 40 minutes of music and it never gets boring, always fresh and entertaining.
We know from his letters that Mozart thought a lot about death. I want this performance of the Adagio played at my memorial service. It contains all the beauty and pain of life, and ends with the soul's ascent to God.
Beautiful score to study for composing a trio. Its such another world from quartet because of the missing 4th instrument...Each instrument essentially takes turns leaving its 'home' register to imply another voice, and very few rests! It's an ensemble for virtuosi.
Completely agree, I'd like to compose something like this in the future
It achieves many of its effects by being more contrapuntal than a 4tet. Very demanding to write for, Baroque ensembles were generally backed up by an instrument capable of chords. Only really amazing intonation makes this piece. I wonder if they were a violin short when he was writing it...
Absolutely sublime, and wonderful to be able to follow the score. The Grumiaux Trio play with authority and sensitivity conveying the majesty or the music. Thanks a million for sharing.
22:35 Where the miracle starts...
35:20- may be my personal favorite thing written by mozart
I agree!!
The height of chamber music as conversation. The musical material is outwardly simple, but the way the instruments interact with each other is incredible...
Gotta say, I remember this piece from music theory class 30 plus years ago. One of my favorites. Never gets old.
L'extraordinaire legato de Grumiaux dans l'adagio, un miracle !
Grumiaux's extraordinary legato in the adagio, a miracle!
Just remarkable!
The only thing more beautiful than this, is to see it performed live.
It is really this music so beautiful to the point that it is only a heavenly relaxing melody.It is marvellous and outstanding too.
This is a masterpiece! Thank you @Bartje Bartmans.
Escuchar esta maravilla en una noche fría de otoño , al lado de la chimenea, trae una paz que alimenta el alma y el corazón , un regalo divino, mejor imposible....
Mejor aún con una copa de vino tinto.
Mozart: Showing the world how it's done since 1756.
Not even Mozart wrote a greater piece than this. It's perfection and sheer joy bring tears to one's eyes.
Try Beethoven string trio op.3
Beethoven Op. 3 is far superior...
@@eduardoguerraavila8329 But Beethoven's op.3 is indebted to this piece is many ways, and it still doesn't have the same economy of phrasing, equality between all three instruments(there are more sections in Beethoven's op.3 where one or more instruments don't play anything for many measures), and finally, it's missing all the masterful counterpoint that this piece has.
I Can t conceive mister avila IS sinceer
Seriously? The later quartets, the 40th, 29, and 41st symphonies, late piano sonatas, piano concertos 20-27, violin sonatas, violin concertos, fantasies?
I'm learning first violin part. Very much appreciate your putting synced score and music up.
Mozart was a great genius!!!This Trio is an ensamble for virtuosi. It would be wonderful to play It with wind instruments
My favorite recording beautiful presented by you. Thank you
bravissimo !
Beautiful ! Thank you so much :)
thanks it very good
Mozart master work!

Thanks for uploading all your videos without advertisements
I have no say about advertisements. It is CZcams who decides. Most uploaded videos are copyrighted, but some are not being recognized and thus no ads.
@@bartjebartmans oh, as some channels have all of their videos with advertisements, I thought It was the channel the one that decides!! Sorry for my wrong knowledge, thanks for answer!
I played recently parts of this piece and som of KV 404a - it is very interesting to see how Mozart learnd from arranging Bach pieces for string trio. The opening adagio of 404a where he tries to deal with some of the new ideas is not working out perfectly what is very untypical for Mozart - but in this piece he has definitely mastered it!
I like it!!
the final movement is right out of on of Mozart's operas
A trama das partes (textura) é perfeita!
Fabulous piece certainly not too long. Because of the depth and drama of the work the title: Divertimento is an understatement. The Grumiaux Trio...can this be done better...I don't think so...
A recording of this that was done by Gidon Kremer, Kim Kashkashian & Yo-yo Ma is the best recording I've heard. They absolutely captured the deep drama of this Divertimento - although this is played very well, I think its missing the drama of the other recording.
I am glad you think this is played very well. What is this "best" recording always about on CZcams? Why? Enjoy this recording for it's merits and enjoy that you can read along. After all, that is the main reason why I post videos with scores.
well, what an severe answer to Mr ajax! he just posted his opinion in a educated way!
I really love you channel by the way Bartje,.
Although this is extremely well played, my favourite is stern-zukerman-rose, for they are not as free as kremer-kashkashian-ma in the way they play, and yet they put the "drama" in it.
Educated way? Comparing Grumiaux to Kremer is ridiculous to begin with. Complete different style of playing, tone and timbre. Now that is an educated observation. Are you the same guy as Mr. Ajax? Sounds like it.
I wasn't comparing violinist. I was giving an opinion - and no we're not the same person.
Bartje Bartmans hahah Thats hilarious.
best !
19:21 As if Mozart thought you forgot this was a piece for a trio ensemble.
Lmaooo
😂
Apparently there was no big C on the printing table to print the time signature of the first movement.
Last allegro theme surprised me... so that's where that tune came from.
What tune?
sodelicious

ESSES CARAS SÂO DEMAIS...... DEUS OS ABENCÔE ..TOCAM MUUUUUUUIITO!!!
I love the string trio. Without the 2nd violin, the viola, my favorite instrument, is more prominent. In addition to those composers mentioned by our esteemed poster, B.B., Schoenberg, Hindemith Francaix, Sibelius, Borodin, Penderecki, R. Strauss, Webern, E.J. Moeran, Hans Krasa (know him?) Martinu, Matjis Vermeulen, Gubaidulina, Villa-lobos, Jean Cras.and others contributed to the repertoire. (long list).(Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against quartets. Far from it.)
Vermeulen Trio is on my channel.
Sorry,i don t see whers your référence stays
So i would liké dare add Albert Roussel s one and Ludwig van Beethoven s five

I love this recording, but if you have not heard it I also recommend listening to the old mono recording of this divertimento, with Frederick Riddle on viola, Jean Pougnet on violin, and Antony Pini on cello - the slow movement is incredible, and somehow it's even better in mono!!.

may i ask where you got the informstion that this is public domain? as i am trying to use this for a non profit play i am directing, so i need to have a source stating this recording and not just the notes are under publuc domain. very much appreciated!
Most recordings on CZcams are NOT in public domain, this one neither. Some companies allow it, add advertisements or don't even bother. Other companies would pull them down which could result in the termination of your channel. Which happened to me before.
Bartje Bartmans
so this is not in public domain?
The sheet music is, the audio isn't.
What a crime to put studid commercials in this music.
11:24 development of the Adagio
4:38 beginning of the development in the first movement. An incredible journey through different keys. Somewhat similar to the development in piano concerto no 17 first movement
22:34
VIOLA, VIOOOLAA, VIOOLAAA (cit. Celibidache)!
1788 was a good year.
Very God! Beautiful. Trentadue Domenico in CZcams my music.
Someone else laught a lot by 28:00? It was very funny jajajajajaj
Me ha interrumpido la publicidad en medio del primer movimiento. Una vergüenza.

L andante et ses variations me paraît être l incarnation la plus parfaite de ce que les survivants de l ére pre smartphone pourraient appeler l "ivresse de la page blanche" !!

it's best for when one of violinist became ill before the concert.

So - you are unmusical
Beethoven once said "am i the only one who finds Mozart boring?"
+lykigos Where did he say that? On the contrary! Beethoven copied a passage from Mozart's 40th Symphony into the sketchbook he was using when he composed his Fifth Symphony, the third movement of which opens with a theme similar to one from the Mozart. Charles Rosen sees Mozart's C minor Piano Concerto, K. 491, as a model for Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto in the same key, the Quintet for Piano and Winds, K. 452, for Beethoven's quintet for the same instruments, Op. 16, and the A major String Quartet, K. 464, for Beethoven's A major String Quartet Op. 18 No. 5. Robert Marshall sees Mozart's C minor piano sonata, Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor, K. 457, as the model for Beethoven's "Pathétique" sonata, Op. 13, in the same key. There is also a striking similarity between the beginning of the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 the "Moonlight" sonata and parts of the first Movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17.
+Bartje Bartmans Not to mention the cadenzas (WoO 58) to the first and third movements of Mozart's D minor piano concerto, K. 466, and four sets of variations on themes by Mozart:
+lykigos He actually borrowed heavily from this piece in his own Op. 3.
+Bartje Bartmans Not to forget Beethoven might have studied with Mozart and he often took works of Mozart and Haydn in his program when premiering a new work of himself.
He never dared to see Mozart !
