Bruch & RVW

[eschiss1]

In an hour (but available for a month) an interesting concert with works by two composers I did not know were connected, will be aired on BBC- Bruch's early piano quintet and VW's later A minor string quartet. According to the notes, the latter studied with the former for a few months in 1897- wholly news to this person.
The concert is actually, I see, 3rd of 4 "Bruch & Vaughan Williams" chamber concerts this week, repeats from 2017, but still.
Today's will be @ https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08wn4l6.

Thanks for the alert! Just as a side note: Bruch's Piano Quintet was composed between 1881 and 1888 (often, 1886 is given as the date of composition, but at that point Bruch had not yet finished the finale, which he only did two years later, cf. the liner notes of the CPO recording for the details). It does not have an opus number, however, and was not published during Bruch's lifetime. In fact, the piece is one of the few chamber works Bruch wrote in the middle of his creative career, almost all the other works either date from his (partially very) early or late(st) years.
