  • when Beethoven heard of the Septet’s sensational reception in London in 1815, he snarled, “That damn work; I wish it could be burned!” ~ for the poet Walt Whitman, however, it evoked thoughts of “Dainty abandon, sometimes as if Nature laughing on a hillside in the sunshine; serious and firm monotonies, as of winds; a horn sounding through the tangle of the forest, and the dying echoes; soothing floating of waves but presently rising in surges, angrily lashing, muttering, heavy; piercing peals of laughter, for interstices; now and then weird, as Nature herself is in certain moods—but mainly spontaneous, easy, careless…”

FRANCK  Piano Quintet Op. 44 • 1878
  • Camille Saint-Saëns, the pianist for the Quintet’s première in 1880, “hated every bit of it and stalked off the stage, refusing to return for applause. He even left the manuscript on the piano, although it was dedicated to him, and one of Franck’s pupils rescued it.” But if you have a musical sweet tooth, you will revel in this masterpiece. Harold Schonberg described it as “beautifully written and very striking.”
