Mark Peskanov, Edward Arron, and Jeewon Park Play Piano Trios of Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Beethoven
About This Event
Violinist Mark Peskanov joins cellist Edward Arron and pianist Jeewon Park at Bargemusic for piano trios by Haydn, Mendelssohn and Beethoven. The program — Haydn (often called the "Father of the Symphony"), Mendelssohn's early-Romantic lyricism, and Beethoven's role bridging Classical and Romantic idioms — suits Peskanov's chamber focus and preference for structural clarity and forward momentum.
About Piano trios(chamber)
The Op. 70 Piano Trios is a set of two piano trios by Ludwig van Beethoven, written for piano, violin, and cello. Both trios were composed during Beethoven's stay at Countess Marie von Erdődy's estate, and both are dedicated to her for her hospitality. They were published in 1809.
