Piano Quartet (Mahler) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Piano Quartet (Mahler) The Piano Quartet in A minor (also referred to as the Piano Quartet Movement in A minor) is an early work of Gustav Mahler, the intended first movement of a piano quartet that was apparently never completed.〔Constantin Floros, liner notes to DG 447 112-2.〕 It is the only surviving piece of chamber music without voice composed by Mahler. ==Background==
Mahler began work on the Piano Quartet towards the end of his first year at the Vienna Conservatory, when he was around 15 or 16 years of age. The piece had its first performance on July 10, 1876 at the Conservatory with Mahler at the piano,〔 but it is unclear from surviving documentation whether the quartet was complete at this time. In several letters, Mahler mentions a quartet or quintet, but there is no clear reference to this piano quartet. Following this performance the work was performed at the home of Dr. Theodor Billroth, who was a close friend of Johannes Brahms.〔 Bauer-Lechner, Natalie, ''Recollections of Gustav Mahler '' ed. Peter Franklin, trs. Dika Newlin (London: Faber, 1980)〕 The final known performance of the Quartet in the 19th century was at Iglau on September 12, 1876, with Mahler again at the piano; it was performed along with a violin sonata by Mahler that has not survived. It appears that at one point Mahler wished to publish the Quartet, as the surviving manuscript, which includes 24 bars of a scherzo for piano quartet written in G minor, bears the stamp of the publisher Theodor Rättig; it has been theorized that Mahler sent the work to him, but he rejected it. Following the rediscovery of the manuscript by Mahler's widow Alma Mahler in the 1960s, the work was premiered in the United States on January 12, 1964, in New York City by Peter Serkin and the Galimir Quartet. Four years later it was performed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 1968 at the Purcell Room, London, by the Nemet Ensemble.
