It was Johannes Brahms who first revered the youngest member of the woodwind section, calling it “Miss Clarinet”. He would write magnificent chamber music later on in life for the instrument. But even before that, Franz Schubert, Franz Lachner and Louis Spohr had elicited the feminine side of the clarinet and written intimate duets for it with a soprano, to which the piano and harmony, obligatory in the bourgeois salon, were then added. Our Artist in Residence Fatma Said, the famous clarinet soloist Sabine Meyer and pianist Malcolm Martineau bring the intimate salon music atmosphere of the Schubertiades to the Small Hall with these works of the early Romantic and Romantic periods – carried by wonderful melodies.
