Haydn — String Quartet, Op. 60, No. 3, “Emperor”
Schumann — Piano Quintet

Music that later became the national anthem of Austria-Hungary and Robert Schumann’s most popular chamber work will be featured on this program performed by Spanish pianist Javier Perianes and musicians of the Naples Philharmonic.

The program opens in grand fashion with Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet, Op. 60, No. 3, “Emperor,” often hailed as a quintessential example of string scoring. Nicknamed “Emperor” (or Kaiser), the quartet’s second movement is a set of variations on Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser (God Save Emperor Francis), an anthem Haydn composed for Emperor Francis II that later became the national anthem of Austria. 

Spanish pianist Javier Perianes, known for his energized performances in prestigious concert halls worldwide, will join musicians of the Naples Philharmonic to perform Schumann’s Piano Quintet. This Romantic-era masterpiece is filled with captivating melodies and intricate harmonies that are passed between a piano and a string quartet. Schumann’s Piano Quintet remains a favorite in the chamber music repertoire, celebrated for its emotional depth and innovative structure.

The Sypert Salon Series is generously sponsored by Drs. George Sypert and Joy Arpin.
