The virtuosic Horn Quintet sits alongside the lyrical Clarinet Quintet\, in which Mozart explored his musical friendships and the capacity of an exciting\, new instrument. The haunting yet hopeful string quintet in G minor is perhaps the crowning achievement in his writing for strings. \nSave 20% when you book for 10 or more Music in the Round Sheffield concerts in one transaction.\nSave 10% when you book for 5 or more Music in the Round Sheffield concerts in one transaction.

The Cello Sonata was written when Beethoven was at the height of his musical powers\, beloved by performers and audiences alike. Known as the ‘Gassenhauer Trio’\, the unusual combination of cello\, clarinet and piano shows brilliant writing for all the instruments and has always been well-received for its use of a popular operatic tune in the final movement. His late String Quartet – with its spellbinding\, elegiac third movement\, subtitled the ‘Holy Song of Thanksgiving’ – concludes an evening that will captivate\, astonish and amaze.
