Your favorite collaborative work ?

[m19834]

I am recently becoming interested in collaborative work with other musicians and have been thinking about the possibility of doing more collaborative work in the future.  I am curious, what is your favorite kind ?  Do you have a particular instrument that you enjoy working with most ?  A particular person or type of person ?

As a pianist, I have worked a little bit with other people, but most of my collaborative work has been as a singer.

dear karli:
i really love chamber music, and had the opportunity to do that a lot, with many different musicians and formations. at the piano, some beloved works are:
- brahms - four serious songs and the second viola/clarinet sonata (this one is particularly hard, by the way);
- mozart - the e minor violin sonata;
- schubert - arpeggione sonata;
- debussy - many songs and the sonatas;
- stravinsky - the arrangement of l'histoire du soldat;
- schoenberg - pierrot lunaire;
- terry riley - in c;
- reich - piano phase, eight lines.

well, just some works at the top of my head.

best!

I really love Shubert's lieds: They are pure beauty. I like working with singers in general.
I've also started enjoying the cello, and most string instrument.

But piano for more than 2 hands are also always very fun...

I accually like like all kinds of music, even though the trumpet hasn't cought me yet.
But I am only 19 yo, so I guess that will come

well, any singer or instrumentalist who is talented, nice to work with, and who comes well prepared at rehearsals.

How about a good friend or family member who is also very good?  Or maybe we speak of ideal worlds...

I love chamber music! Only on viola though - I'm scared to touch the piano when other musicians might hear  The only truly negative experience I've had was when being accompanied by my piano teacher for a string competition. Her presence made me about 40 times more nervous, and it was horrible... *shivers*.  So I guess I enjoy collaborating with musicians I regard as equals, to create the most constructive learning environment for all. I have to be comfortable with the people, and not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions.

Oh, yes:  Schubert's Fantasy in F minor.  Obtain the right two pairs of hands, and magic will be served.
