4 Sundays per season, the musicians of the Orchester de l'Opéra national de Paris invite you to share an hour of chamber music in the great hall of the Palais Garnier.

The tone of the Quartet will mark the modernity of Ravel and the breaking of the moorings with romanticism. The enigmatic nonchalance of the first theme, the refinement of the writing for four, of a subtlety which sometimes almost goes as far as preciousness, the appearance of mixed phlegm and melancholy which mark the opening Allegro: all this is greatest Ravel. Note also the humor that marks the second movement, with its play on the pizzicati and its rhythmic finds, the dreamy beauty of the slow movement, as well as the fascinating whirlwind sequences of the finale.

Even beyond the splendor of its themes (in particular that of the second movement, a "funeral march" in homage to that of Beethoven's Heroica ), the success of Schumann's Quintet for piano and strings (1842) is due to the prodigious balance that he manages to establish between the effectiveness of the form (a continuous progression, from the harmonic and dynamic points of view) and the freedom that the work demonstrates with regard to conventional frameworks.

English

4 dimanches par saison, les musiciens de l’Orchestre de l’Opéra national de Paris vous invitent à partager une heure de musique de chambre dans la grande salle du Palais Garnier.

Le ton du Quatuor va signer la modernité de Ravel et la rupture des amarres avec le romantisme. La nonchalance énigmatique du premier thème, le raffinement de l’écriture à quatre, d’une subtilité qui va parfois presque jusqu’à la préciosité, l’apparence de flegme et de mélancolie mêlés qui marquent l’Allegro initial : tout cela est du plus grand Ravel. On notera aussi l’humour qui marque le deuxième mouvement, avec ses jeux sur les pizzicati et ses trouvailles rythmiques, la beauté rêveuse du mouvement lent, ainsi que les fascinantes séquences de tourbillon du final.

Au-delà même de la splendeur de ses thèmes (en particulier celui du deuxième mouvement, « marche funèbre » en hommage à celle de l’Héroïque de Beethoven), la réussite du Quintette pour piano et cordes (1842) de Schumann tient à l’équilibre prodigieux qu’il parvient à instaurer entre l’efficacité de la forme (une progression continue, aux points de vue harmonique et dynamique) et la liberté dont l’œuvre fait preuve à l’égard des cadres conventionnels.
