Listen to the soloist-then play the selections yourself. Perfect for practice, performance, auditions and for everyday listening pleasure!Schubert’s seminal chamber composition, the Piano Quintet in A major, D667, commonly known as ‘The Trout’ or ‘Die Forelle,’ is certainly one of greatest pieces of music ever penned. Its rich textures and lovely melody create an unforgettable musical experience. Its celebration of nature’s beauty stems from a summer trip in the Austrian Alps which inspired the young Schubert to rework a song into this complex chamber-piece. Composed of five alternating movements, ‘The Trout’ uses unique orchestration (substituting a double bass for the second violin) and gives special emphasis to the piano as well. But all the instruments take an equal role, and this may also be a reason for the piece’s eternal popularity.This Music Minus One edition gives you that opportunity, in the comfort of your own home.
