Eternal Lines

Late Works by Fauré and Schubert

Part of the Hellensmusic Summer Series - 2026

Add to my Calendar 09-05-2026 20:30 09-05-2026 22:30 36 Eternal Lines A composer’s late period can take on many forms. For the French Gabriel Fauré, maturity arrived with old age, as his retirement from the Paris Conservatoire, poor health and deafness forced him to battle against fatigue and search for new musical resources. In turn, for the Austrian Franz Schubert, the end came rather early, just as the 31 year-old composer was at his most prolific and inspired stage. Moving from Fauré’s Piano Trio in D Minor (1923) to Schubert’s last Piano Sonata (1828), this concert will navigate between two closing gestures, aiming to reveal the vitality – the forcefulness, the sense of timelessness and expansion – that both composers, young and old, are able to convey in their late instrumental pieces.   Hellens Manor, Ledbury DD/MM/YYYY

Programme Note

A composer’s late period can take on many forms. For the French Gabriel Fauré, maturity arrived with old age, as his retirement from the Paris Conservatoire, poor health and deafness forced him to battle against fatigue and search for new musical resources. In turn, for the Austrian Franz Schubert, the end came rather early, just as the 31 year-old composer was at his most prolific and inspired stage. Moving from Fauré’s Piano Trio in D Minor (1923) to Schubert’s last Piano Sonata (1828), this concert will navigate between two closing gestures, aiming to reveal the vitality – the forcefulness, the sense of timelessness and expansion – that both composers, young and old, are able to convey in their late instrumental pieces.
