Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Episode 4 of 5: The Beginning of the End
As Schubert's reputation grew, so too did respect for his music amongst the professional musicians of Vienna. Schubert wrote two chamber works with some of these musician friends in mind - a virtuosic piece for violin and piano, and a delightfully lyrical piano trio. Donald Macleod introduces both works plus an excerpt from his bleakly beautiful song-cycle 'Winterreise'.
