To close the 2012–2013 Music@Menlo Winter Series, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han will be joined by Emerson String Quartet violinist and Music@Menlo favorite Philip Setzer to perform a program of beloved works for piano trio. The program begins with the exuberant A Major Trio by Joseph Haydn, a composer who is regarded as one of the fathers of the genre. A magnum opus of the composer, Dvořák’s Dumky Trio evokes the emotionally complicated and brooding qualities of a Bohemian lament. Seamlessly incorporating elements of Classicism and Romanticism, Mendelssohn’s chamber music has become one of his most cherished genres for its refreshing clarity and exuberant pathos, as exhibited in his d minor Piano Trio.
