Chamber Music is the only true form of music – this was the conviction of French composer Gabriel Fauré, who became, not least because of this, namesake of one of the most exciting, ingenious and joyful chamber music formations of our time. The Fauré Quartet advanced within a few years to become one of the world’s leading Piano Quartets and chose for their concert at Augustusburg Palace two especially innovative milestones of this genre: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano concert in E flat major, which originates from his richest, most productive time in June 1786 in Vienna, almost simultaneous with ›Figaro‹, and the A major Quartet by young Johannes Brahms, in which he more than once paid tribute to his venerated model Mozart and laid the foundation for his own worldwide success.
