Towns and courts vied for the honor of having him as music director and he commanded a very high salary. In one famous incident\, he turned down a job in Leipzig\, forcing the disappointed city council to settle for Bach instead. Telemann spent most of his career in Hamburg overseeing the music for the city’s churches. He also had many other sources of income—he was a writer (he wrote no fewer than three autobiographies)\, he did freelance composing for other German courts\, and he published his own music. He was also tireless as a composer. In an era when composers were expected to produce vast amounts of music\, Telemann stands out for his truly immense oeuvre. Other Baroque composers produced hundreds of works but he produced thousands—the exact number is unknown but he is believed to have composed over 3\,000 compositions.\nTelemann’s wide-ranging output includes all the main genres of the time\, including concertos for many different instrumentations such as this Concerto in D major for Four Violins\, one of three for this unusual instrumentation. Baroque concertos usually included basso continuo\, an accompaniment that provides the harmonies of the piece\, but Telemann wrote about 80 pieces without continuo\, including this one. The exact occasion and reason for this particular instrumentation is unknown. The four movements\, arranged slow-fast-slow-fast\, capture Telemann’s charm\, grace\, and wit with warm harmonies and clever imitation.\nSonata in E-flat major for Violin and Piano\, Op. 18 (1887-88) Richard Strauss (Munich\, 1864 – Garmisch-Partenkirchen\, 1949)\nWhen Strauss wrote his Violin Sonata at age 24\, he was just finding his path. He was third conductor at the Hofoper in his hometown of Munich. He had recently met his future wife\, the soprano Pauline de Ahna\, who would prove to be a major source of motivation and encouragement. He had also recently returned from a trip to Italy and was inspired to try an entirely new type of composition with his symphonic fantasy Aus Italien. Strauss had had a very conservative musical education focused on Haydn\, Mozart\, and Beethoven and wrote quite a bit of chamber music in his younger years (he was a child prodigy). The Violin Sonata ended up serving as a capstone to that period in his life. After it\, he would shift his focus to big\, programmatic music—he quickly wrote the tone poems Macbeth\, Don Juan\, and Tod und Verklärung in 1888 and 1889. He would also go on to write his brilliant operas and dozens of songs but the Violin Sonata was essentially his last word on abstract instrumental music.\nAnd what an ending it is. Strauss eagerly soaked in all the competing influences of 1880s Germany. He went through a brief period of fascination with Brahms that gave way to a lasting involvement with Wagnerism. He also studied German philosophy\, including Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. The Violin Sonata came at a pivotal time when Strauss was synthesizing all these influences. The two outer movements are impassioned pleas\, full of rapid modulations and high flying melodies\, while the middle\nChamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\nmovement is a spontaneous-sounding reflection.\nQuartet No. 1 in C minor for Piano\, Violin\, Viola\, and Cello\, Op. 15 (1876-79) Gabriel Fauré (Pamiers\, 1845 – Paris\, 1924)\nThe young Fauré started down a new path in 1871 as a reaction to the Franco-Prussian War. He helped found the Société Nationale de Musique in Paris on February 25\, 1871\, whose goal was to promote new French concert music and whose motto was ‘ars gallica.’ The Société concerts gave a platform for him and his fellow members to focus on the previously-overlooked genre of chamber music from a French lens and promote it as part of Parisian cultural life. Fauré had a number of premieres at Société concerts\, including this work\, his first piano quartet\, on February 14\, 1880. After revisions to the last movement\, it was published four years later and dedicated to Belgian violinist Hubert Léonard\, a champion of Fauré and the Société in general. Though Fauré’s professional life was going well when he wrote this quartet\, his personal life was more difficult. His relationship with Marianne Viardot\, who came from a well-connected musical family\, ended when she called off their engagement in October 1877. Fauré was deeply hurt but\, not one to wear his heart on his sleeve\, little of his distraught state of mind made its way into this piano quartet except perhaps in the profound adagio movement.\nThe C minor Piano Quartet is an elegant mix of traditional chamber forms and detached French character. The standard line-up of movements—sonata\, scherzo\, slow movement\, and energetic finale— is enhanced with modal twinges\, colorful melodies\, light textures\, and distinctive rhythms. The first movement begins with a modally-inflected melody that visits beautifully distant harmonic territory in the development section before ending in C major. The second movement is a particularly French scherzo with an ethereal lightness created through tripping rhythms\, clever melodies\, and thin textures alternating between strings and piano. The third movement is a long-breathed adagio\, deeply felt and the only fully serious movement of the piece. The last movement\, like the first\, is another journey from C minor to C major with many intriguingly imaginative detours on the way. Fauré is best known for his chamber music and his songs and with this piece (along with the Violin Sonata two years earlier) he finds his mature voice in the genre—a perfect marriage of rigorous form and French style.\nProgram notes by Laura Keller\, CMS Editorial Manager © 2020 Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nSpanish violinist Francisco Fullana has been praised as a “rising star” (BBC Music Magazine) and “frighteningly awesome” (Buffalo News). His thoughtful virtuosity has led to collaborations with conducting greats like the late Sir Colin Davis\, Hans Graf\, and Gustavo Dudamel\, who described Fullana as “an amazing talent.” Besides his career as a soloist\, which includes recent debuts with the Philadelphia and St. Paul Chamber Orchestras and the Buffalo Philharmonic\, he is making an impact as an innovative educator. He created the Fortissimo Youth Initiative\, a series of seminars and performances in partnership with youth and university orchestras\, which explore and deepen young musicians’ understanding of 18th-century music. His first CD\, Through the Lens of Time (released by Orchid Classics)\, showcases both his incandescent virtuosity and the range of his artistic inquisitiveness. The album is centered around Max Richter’s re-composition of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons\, recorded alongside the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra\, and has been praised by critics as “explosive”\nChamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\n(Gramophone) and “electric and virtuosic” (The Strad). He was awarded the 2018 Avery Fisher Career Grant and was a first prize winner of the Johannes Brahms and Angel Munetsugu International Violin Competitions. He is currently a member of The Bowers Program at the Chamber Music Society.

Among those who value originality\, inspiration\, eccentricity and character – as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts of genius\, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar. Born in Tupelo\, Mississippi\, raised among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before\, Paul Thorn has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes\, worked for years in a furniture factory\, battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television\, performed on stages with Bonnie Raitt\, Mark Knopfler\, Sting\, and John Prine among many others\, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time. He’s also appeared on major television shows\, received numerous National Public Radio features and charted multiple times on the Billboard Top 100 and Americana Radio Charts. \nAmythyst KiahWith an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled\, Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter Amythyst Kiah is redefining the limits of roots music. Growing up a Black and LGBTQ+ woman in the Bible Belt\, she experienced social anxiety\, grief\, alienation – and ultimately\, the hard-won triumph of total self-acceptance. Kiah’s debut for Rounder Records\, the standout track “Black Myself\,” was originally recorded with Our Native Daughters. It earned a 2020 GRAMMY Award nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the 2019 Folk Alliance International Awards. Kiah’s new version of “Black Myself ” – radically reimagined with the help of producer Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers\, Amos Lee\, Andrew Bird) – represents a stunning expansion of her sound into the world of iconoclastic alternative rock. \nJohn Ellison\, charismatic creator of the R&B standard “Some Kind of Wonderful”\, will knock your socks off with his trademark energy\, soulful voice and award-winning lyrics. He impresses with his music and voice and is one of the few remaining soul and blues legends that have made an essential contribution to the development of blues\, gospel\, soul\, and funk music in a time of great social change. \nJohn received no fewer than 5 lifetime BMI achievement awards and was inducted in the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame and has played with\, written for\, and performed alongside Nina Simone\, James Brown\, The Temptations\, Wilson Pickett\, Grand Funk Railroad\, Huey Lewis & the News\, Buddy Guy\, Joss Stone etc. \nJohn Ellison is Some Kind of Wonderful! \n  \n  \nFor the last 37 years\, Mountain Stage with Larry Groce has been the home of live music on public radio.
