Inhalt:
Covers repertoire from the Renaissance to the present, crossing genres to include string quartets, piano trios, clarinet quintets, and other groupings. It gives a thorough overview and history of this long-established and beloved genre, typically performed by groups of a size to fit into spaces such as homes or churches and tending originally toward the string and wind instruments rather than percussion. It begins with chamber music's earliest expressions in the 17th century, discusses its most common elements in terms of instruments and compositional style, and then investigates how those elements play out across several centuries of composers—among them Mozart, Bach, Haydn, and Brahms—and national interpretations of chamber music.
