Accento musicale: "Infinite lengths..." - Brahms & Schubert for the cultural weekend in Altendorf and Schwyz!

As part of the Schwyz Culture Weekend and the "Hallo Kultur!" series of events, the professional Schwyz chamber music ensemble "Accento musicale", known throughout the canton, will be giving a concert in the village center of Altendorf next Saturday evening, 20 April at 8 pm, as well as a matinée in Schwyz on Sunday morning.


The ultimate in romantic chamber music with "heavenly lengths": Schubert

The "accomplished" Accento musicians Donat Nussbaumer, violinist in the Zurich Chamber Orchestra and from Altendorf itself, the young cellist Severin Suter from Schwyz and the pianist Eleonora Em from the cantonal school in Ausserschwyz will perform Franz Schubert's famous E flat major trio. This second piano trio by the Viennese Romantic composer features wonderful melodies and almost symphonic proportions. This is particularly noticeable in the finale with its almost 750 bars. And this despite the fact that the composer shortened it by around a hundred bars - probably due to "external pressure"!

Schwyz cultural weekend as an encounter with German Romanticism
The first part of the concert is performed by "Accento" pianist Eleonora Em together with the clarinettist Urs Bamert from Ausserschwyz, and here too with pure Romanticism: the clarinet sonatas are among the most beautiful and expressive compositions by the German Romantic composer Johannes Brahms. They are serene yet youthfully fresh works from his old age, written at a time when Brahms had actually finished composing. Fortunately, this intention did not last long, thanks to the Meiningen clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld, whom Brahms met and came to appreciate in 1891. At the time, Brahms wrote to Clara Schumann: "...one cannot play the clarinet more beautifully than the local Mühlfeld does." With his help, Brahms expanded his knowledge of the tonal and technical possibilities of the instrument, and since then the first clarinet sonata in F minor in particular has been one of the most wonderful and profound pieces of chamber music ever written.


The concerts - one of the few as part of the Schwyz Cultural Weekend in Ausserschwyz, and with free admission and a collection - will take place: on Saturday evening, April 20, at 8 pm in the Altendorf village center (probably the last in this hall, which has been so important for Accento and the Schwyz chamber music scene for over three decades, due to conversion), and on Sunday morning, April 21, at 10.30 am in Schwyz at Eichhorn's "i de Fabrik" in Hinterdorf, Laubstrasse 4.


There is no interval, duration approx. 80 minutes - the musicians of "Accento", under the patronage of several authorities, patrons and companies who support cultural activities for the region, are looking forward to a festive audience!
Advance booking possible via info@accentomusicale.ch.

On the Whitsun weekend, the Accento musicians - together with their friends DiVent and Kulturschock - will once again bring their popular and idyllic chamber music festival to the Remise and the meadows of the Rüteli farm above Nuolen/Wangen.
