Favorite Chamber Combination

[contrapunctus]

What is your favorite and which one has your favorite repetoire? I would have to say option 1 is mine because I think that the violin and the piano is the best combination. They also have the best rep. too, with the Mozart and Beethoven violin sonatas.

What is your's and why?

Piano trio, because I think that the piano, cello, and violin are three of the most beautiful instruments, and can create the most interesting textures.


Just listen to Dvorak's f minor.

I like the piano quintet the most. Some of the greatist works of musical history where written in that form-Schubert, Brahms, Schumann, Faure, Dvorak...

Piano trio. Yay Tchaikovsky!

i like all of them but voted for two or more pianos.  sometimes it's all in the performers.  i think the reason some people don't like chamber music as much as orchestral - is that IF you don't like the performers - you are stuck listening for a while.  but, if they are very good - it's nice.  suppose it's the same with pianists.  the comradere has to be there - otherwise it looks like 'every man/woman for themselves.'  i don't find that interesting or pleasing.

I voted for the piano trio (Schubert's op. 99 is sublime), but the case for the quintet for piano can be quite compelling.  Let's not forget Mozart's quintet for piano and winds.  Mmmmm.
