Beautiful Classical Smaller Pieces, duo,trio,etc


Lets put together a list of beauty. Woodwinds, flute, harp, guitar, octets, quintets, quartets. They are unsung genius.
Intimate, thoughtful, considered.

Schubert, nice to hear of Villa-Lobos. I met a high-rise window washer,Cullen, at a record swap who introduced me to him and others. Cullen has passed; my joy remains. I think Villa-Lobos will live on.
Larryi, we are so lucky for Brilliant. They provided some wonderful values in big sets. I have a number and would buy more. I was astounded by their value to provide significant overviews of composers at truly nominal cost.
Isochronism, thank you. I feel many artists most intimate,personality revealing works are in these delights. Who'd have guessed about Beethoven quiet genius, humor and playfulness from his "grand" efforts.
Larryi, just read your 6-11 post. Not only do I agree about Schuberts D. 956; I feel just the opening bars are worth the price of admission. As I write I am listening to the effort by the State Borodin Quintet and am too entranced to write more. I am reaching for my brandy as we speak...Cheers to all who feel these enormous musical contributions- and a huge thanks to all who have posted ^<. Pete
Shostakovich string qt. #8--powerful stuff with some moments of beauty, albeit ominous
