Brighton Dome is delighted to welcome back these accomplished young musicians as part of a new series of chamber music performances in the Corn Exchange. Written to be performed in London's 800-seater Hanover Square rooms, Haydn's Opus 71 quartets are arguably his most bold and outgoing statements in the form. Dvorak's 'Slavic' Opus 51 Quartet resonates with nationalistic pride, its spirited Czech folk dance motifs brought to an exuberant finale with a boisterous Bohemian reel. Brahms' Piano Quintet was completed during the summer of 1864 and was dedicated to Her Royal Highness the Princess Anne of Hesse. The work began life as a string quintet, following which Brahms transcribed the quintet into a sonata for two pianos before taking its final form. Brahms destroyed the original version for string quintet, but published the Sonata as opus 34 bis.
