Chamber II
Melody and Counterpoint
In a sea of traditional chamber music, there are occasional atolls of unusual instrumentation. Mozart’s Oboe Quartet is one of the first—a jewel of invention and charm. Written for his friend, the virtuoso oboist Friedrich Ramm, the piece was designed to showcase both Ramm’s dazzling technique and the expressive range of the newest, most advanced oboe. At turns showy and heartrendingly lyrical, the oboe stands in as a kind of proxy for Mozart’s favorite instrument: the human voice.
Following the Mozart, we turn to Bach’s Goldberg Variations, in Dmitry Sitkovetsky’s elegant arrangement for string trio. This luminous reimagining brings Bach’s counterpoint into sharp relief, offering clarity, intimacy, and a fresh perspective on a timeless masterwork. Featured performers include: Erika Yamada, oboe; Leonid Sigal, violin; Laura Sinclair, viola; Ashley Garritson, cello.
