Our Spring Concert set includes the Quatuor by Germaine Tailleferre whose Piano Trio we performed last season. Tailleferre’s characteristic transparency and melodic sense imbues this gem. Two larger pieces take up the rest of the program: Mozart’s sunny and buoyant C Major String Quintet, K.515 and the much less familiar Piano Quartet in G Major by the German Romantic Emilie Mayer (1812-1883). Mayer was both influential and popular during her time, but was largely forgotten, in part because of the difficulty she had in getting her scores published. Fortunately, her music is undergoing a revival and finally getting into print.
