American composer Ruth Crawford Seeger’s high reputation rests on a small body of works, almost all of which were created in the nine-year period from 1924 to 1933. The short, elegantly crafted Suite for Wind Quintet, written in 1952, was intended to mark her return to composition after a hiatus of nearly two decades. Instead, it was her swansong.
The last of Beethoven’s four piano quartets (and the only one published during his lifetime), the Piano Quartet in E-flat Major dates from the composer’s first decade in Vienna and was originally conceived as a wind quintet. In publishing the two versions simultaneously, the ambitious composer probably hoped to capitalize on the popularity of his early piano trios and other works.
Composed on the eve of World War I, Ravel’s Piano Trio in A Minor is by turns elegiac and vibrantly intense; he said he dashed it off “with the assurance and clarity of a madman.”
