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.

Frogman, I am eternally in your debt.
"Miladi" was one of the pieces I had read about but never heard.
The version I found locally was by Ensemble Walter Boeykens on Harmonia Mundi . Both the group and work are of the highest order, reminding me of that master of masters in Janacek,Rudolf Firkunsy, playing "On an Overgrown Path" with even more color than a solo piano could.
I swear Janachek could give even Schubert lessons in dynamic graduation!

It took me several minutes to compose myself after "Miladi".
I would think it one of those pieces where a knowledgeable classical audience would pause before putting hands together?
Ptss, it is indeed remarkable than a youth of 16 could write
such a mature work at the Octet.
It is equally remarkable that Janacek could write such
a youthful work as "Miladi"(youth in Czech} at over 70
years of age .
I like the three string quartets by the Spanish composer Arriaga who did not make it out of his teens. I believe he was 16 years old when he wrote them.
