Are there particular combinations of instruments you wish you could hear more often?
I absolutely love piano quintets, and I've always wondered why these are so rarely composed. (Well, relatively rarely). Only the Trout Quintet, the Brahms and the Schumann seem to be "famous." I've listened to the Dvorak, but it's not really a piece you hear about much; I know there are more (Mozart, for example), but piano quintets are still relatively rare. You have tons of piano concertos and string quartets; so why not more piano quintets?
Are there any instrument combinations you wish were more common?And do you think 1) that musical combinations have gotten more standardized over time 2) that this has in some ways been a detriment? It seems to me, at least, that Baroque composers were more adventurous in instrument choices, whereas Romantic composers often stuck to the usual combinations. But I may be totally wrong. Tchaikovsky tried the celesta, after all... that's unusual!
What do you think?
Haha thanks Schumisz, you always have great answers!
If only someone would write more for the peculiar but strangely exquisite combination of two contrabassoons and one bassoon.
I know of one only example of this unorthodox combination, and it's by Australian composer Richard Meale. He wrote a brilliant opera entitled "Mer de Glace" (1992) - including a wonderful section for the above combination. I played bassoon in one peformance, wedged between the pair of contrabassoons - it made my innards turn to jelly! Seriously, it was one of the most surreal experiences of my life - a kind of subsonic ecstasy!
Are you taking note, all you composers out there???
Cheers,
Hafwen.
Edit for Schumisz:
Wow, I'd LOVE to hear your bassoon sonata! And let those Baroque-inspired contra-baboon ideas ferment for me - the more music for this flatulent beast the better ) Yes, swing on by when you're Down Under, and I'll cook you one of my lentil-rich Indian feasts to accompany the music! Seriously, playing in between TWO of these contra-monsters was indescribable - kind of like stereophonic earth tremors...H x
