Tenri Chamber Players
Friday, April 11, 7:00 PM
On Friday evening at Tenri Cultural Institute, 43A West 13th
Street, Arts at Tenri will continue
its 2007-2008 season with performances by Albert
Lotto, piano and Barbara Stein Mallow,
cello. This concert presents a survey of the complete works for
cello and piano of Beethoven, including the five sonatas and three
sets of variations.

Sonata Number 1 in F Major
Three Sets of Variations
Sonata Number 5 in D Major
Albert Lotto, pianist, and Barbara Stein Mallow, cellist, share
a history of almost five decades of passionate and exciting music-making
together.
Beginning in 1960 when Barbara Mallow first performed at the Kneisel
Hall Summer Chamber Music Festival, Albert found himself totally
absorbed in the chamber music playing of Barabara Mallow and of
Barbara's illustrious musical family. Over the years, Barbara's
mother, Lillian Fuchs, a founder of modern viola playing and her
uncle Joseph Fuchs, the consummate violinist equally at home in
chamber music and solo violin music joined together with Albert,
with Barbara and with Barbara's twin sister Carol Stein Amado, violinist,
in modular chamber music groups performing a wide variety of chamber
music for piano and strings. Barbara and Albert have recently joined
with Jeanne Mallow, Barbara's daughter and eminent young violist
to perform together as well.
Appearing together in public for three generations it now seems
fitting for Barbara Mallow and Albert Lotto to perform a survey
of the complete repertory for cello and piano of Beethoven. Just
as we see in his 32 Sonatas for solo piano, Beethoven's repertory
for cello and piano, which includes five Sonatas and three sets
of Variations, spans three periods of the composer’s psychological
and philosophical evolution. Works from each of these three periods
will be performed in two concerts, each concert representing a survey
of the remembrances, transitions and crowning completion framed
by
these distinct periods of composition.
