Description
The third concert of the 1981-82 season of the San Francisco Chamber Music Society featured violinist Lucy Stoltzman and clarinetist Richard Stoltzman performing a program of mostly 20th century chamber works, with added accompaniment by Robin Sutherland on piano, and Michael Grebanier on cello. The program begins with Johannes Brahms’ “Sonatensatz.” the fourth and only extant movement from a sonata jointly composed by Brahms, Albert Dietrich, and Robert Schumann. This is followed by Roger Nixon’s “Conversations” a work in seven short movements which was commissioned by Lillian D. Hohfeld and Jane and Clement Galante in memory of Isabell Arndt Hesselberg, who’s personality is purportedly reflected in the music. Other works include two trios for violin, clarinet, and piano, by Ingolf Dahl and Béla Bartók as well as Maurice Ravel’s “Sonata for Violin and Violoncello”. This delightful and lively chamber music concert was recorded, on December 21, 198,1 at the Fireman’s Fund Forum in San Francisco, by Steve Wolfe.
