Vianden Music Days

The Blaze of Romanticism Farrenc & Schubert

Musical Experience by Candlelight

In the warm glow of countless candles, this concert presents two major works of Romantic chamber music: Louise Farrenc’s Piano Quintet in A minor, Op. 30, and Franz Schubert’s famous “Trout Quintet.”



Farrenc’s work combines expressive depth, formal clarity and a lively dialogue between piano and strings. Schubert’s quintet offers a brighter, more lyrical contrast, with flowing melodies, transparent textures and its unusual scoring with double bass.

Together, these two masterpieces reveal the remarkable variety and expressive richness of the 19th-century piano quintet.

Drinks after the concert, offered by Les Amis du Château de Vianden a.s.b.l.
