The delightful Night Music concert will be held once again at Tampere Old Church. Both works on the program are in A minor and convey not only sorrow but also a great deal of hope. The beloved Arpeggione Sonata was composed in 1824, originally for the six-string Arpeggione instrument.
The lesser-known String Quartet by Anton Arensky has an unusual instrumentation: violin, viola, and two cellos. The work is dedicated to the memory of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and the second movement’s variations are based on Tchaikovsky’s song Legenda from 16 Songs for Children, Op. 54.
