Brahms, still early in his career, steps into artistic maturity with the Piano Quartet in A Major, weaving expansive lyricism with quiet introspection. Bridge’s Phantasy for Piano Quartet captures the final glow of Romanticism, poised just before his shift toward modernist color. Kodály, a student beginning to travel and collect folk melodies, lets the voice of his homeland guide him toward a distinct musical identity in his Intermezzo. Together, these works trace three composers at the threshold of transformation, each revealing the subtle stirrings of change.
