We listened to many different composers and finally we were so fond of Dulcie Holland because of this really good composition. It\u2019s one big impressionistic crescendo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other female composer featured on this tour is Clara Schumann whose piano trio was praised by Mendelssohn and may have inspired her husband, Robert, to try his hand at the same extended form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClara Schumann was 26 years old when she composed that trio,\u201d says Christoph. \u201cIt is a lovely trio, full of humour.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOf course the first movement is pretty dramatic, but then you have music that is like balsam for the soul. The slow movement is the highlight of the whole trio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Eggner Trio has paired Clara Schumann\u2019s music with the tortured score of Robert Schumann\u2019s 1851 third piano trio, a work composed when the author was depressive and possibly syphilitic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an unruly piece, not easy,\u201d says Christoph. \u201cThere are of course lovely moments, but there is always this swing from one extreme to the other. We want to show the audience that there are pieces that might not be easy to listen to but are absolutely worth hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ending both programs, respectively, are Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s irresistible \u2018Dumky\u2019, a work that is a perfect fit for the Eggners, and Brahms\u2019 youthful <em>Trio op 8<\/em> that, in its day, was quickly taken up by both amateur and professional performers.<\/p>\n<p>Of returning to Australia, Christoph says\u00a0\u201cWe want to bring something new every time and not disappoint, and perhaps perform a little bit better than the last time. It\u2019s an unconscious feeling that we have, that we want to top a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The performers:\u00a0Georg Eggner &#8211; violin\/\u00a0Florian Eggner &#8211; cello\/\u00a0Christoph Eggner &#8211; piano<\/p>\n<p>The Programme:<\/p>\n<p>Monday 9 November:\u00a0C.
