Morceau de Salon Op. 228 for oboe and piano Guitar/cello duets Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda (1801 - 1866) In 2016 we remember the 150th anniversary of the passing of Johann Baptist Wenzel Kalliwoda. Remember might be a somewhat misleading word, as the 20th century never managed to acknowledge his contributions to music. Interest in the composer was reawakened only a couple of years ago when the Talich Quartet released a recording of three Kalliwoda string quartets. Praised as "truly sensational discoveries of 2006," it focused attention on a composer who had made his memorable debut on 19 January 1826 in Leipzig. Barely 25 years of age and practically unknown, Kalliwoda's became an overnight sensation with his unique take on the symphonic genre. He did not try to emulate the style and expressive force of Beethoven, and critics gave him credit for "pursuing his own path simply and properly, without studiously trying to be something he is not." His music was disburdened of Beethoven's monumentality while standing on the cutting edge of its day. Kalliwoda has rightfully been described as the "missing symphonic link between Beethoven and Schumann." Interlude Gabriel Fauré (1845 - 1924) Pavanne Fauré's music has been described as linking the end of Romanticism with the modernism of the second quarter of the 20th century. When he was born, Chopin was still composing, and by the time of Fauré's death, jazz and the atonal music of the Second Viennese School were being heard.   Wikipedia Reflexões No. 6: Vivissimo Jaime Zenamon (1953 - ) Jaime Mirtenbaum Zenamon (born 1953) is a classical guitarist and composer.
