Mahler – Klavierquartett in A

Mahler

This is a chamber music work that is sometimes referred to as “Piano Quartet in A Minor” or “Klavierquartett in A-Moll.” Mahler’s Piano Quartet in A minor is an early composition, written when he was still a student. It’s a relatively lesser-known work in his repertoire, often overshadowed by his more famous symphonies and song cycles. The piece is characterized by its Romantic style and showcases some of the elements that would later become prominent in Mahler’s symphonies.

Due to the demanding nature of Mahler’s Piano Quartet, it is recommended for violinists at an intermediate to advanced level. A solid foundation in technique, including a command of various bowing styles, fingerings, and an understanding of musical interpretation, is essential.
