• Haydn — Quartet, Op. 33 No. 5
• Beethoven — Quartet, Op. 95 “Serioso”
• Schubert — Quartet Movement, D. 703 “Quartettsatz”

Going to Arrangement

With Prof. Yoel Greenberg

• Beethoven — “Grosse Fuge,” Op. 133
• Schubert — Piano Sonata for Four Hands, D. 617

Arrangements by Beethoven, Yishai Shaer, and Richard Dinser

Why arrange a work written for one instrument or ensemble for others? What difficulties arise along the way? Four works, four puzzles, four solutions.

In collaboration with the Tel Aviv Museum Chamber Music Series.

Dwarfs and Giants

With Prof. Yoel Greenberg

Gilad Harel — clarinet
Vernon — six bagatelles, Op. 9

• Mozart — Quartet, K. 428
• Scarrino — Quintettino No. 1
• Brahms — Clarinet Quintet, Op. 115

Two very short works meet two expansive ones, creating a rich dialogue of styles and dimensions.

In collaboration with the Israeli Conservatory Chamber Music Series.

Fire and Melancholy

Daniela Skorka — soprano
Yizhar Karshon — harpsichord and presenter

• C. P. E. Bach — Trio Sonata, Wq. 161/1, “A Dialogue between the Sanguine and the Melancholic”
• Handel — Italian Cantata, HWV 110, “The Death of Agrippina”
• Vivaldi — Trio Sonata, Op. 1 No. 12, “La Folia”

Drama and intense emotions in 18th-century music: from Handel’s tempestuous cantata about Agrippina, through Vivaldi’s “La Folia” variations, to the dialogue between the sanguine and the melancholic in C. P. E. Bach.

Mi-La Is a Word

With Prof. Yoel Greenberg

• Steve Reich — “Different Trains” for string quartet and tape
• Beethoven — Quartet, Op. 135

What music suits a question? Is it possible to compose the last sentence you said? The musicality of text as a source of inspiration, from Beethoven to Reich.
