a musical-literary dialogue with

» Hoffmann E major/ 2: Scherzo. Allegro molto

Beethoven's piano trio from an almost baroque perspective, as a sometimes intriguingly witty, sometimes touching yet always well thought-out dialogue. The famous citation that in Vienna the young Beethoven received "Mozart's spirit from Haydn's hands", here it becomes a true ringing legacy.
