Songs My Mother Taught Me by Dvorak

Antonín Leopold Dvořák (1841 – 1904) was a Czech composer
of late Romantic music, who employed the idioms of the folk
music of Moravia and his native Bohemia.
Dvořák’s own style is sometimes called "romantic-classicist synthesis".
His works include symphonic, choral and chamber music, concerti, operas
and many of other orchestral and vocal-instrumental pieces.

His best-known works include his New World Symphony, the Slavonic Dances, "American" String Quartet, the opera Rusalka, Cello Concerto
in B minor and choral works Stabat Mater, Requiem, Op. 89 and Te Deum.

Songs My mother Taught Me by Antonin Dvorak

Composed in 1880, within a set of songs called the Gypsy Songs, Dvorak's "Songs My Mother Taught Me" is one of the most famous
and beloved songs of the set.
Its memorable melody is both sad and optimistic.
The texts are poems written by Adolf Heyduk in German.

German Text

Als die alte Mutter mich noch lehrte singen,
tränen in den Wimpern gar so oft ihr hingen.
Jetzt, wo ich die Kleinen selber üb im Sange,
rieselt's in den Bart oft,
rieselt's oft von der braunen Wange.

English Lyrics (by Natalia Macfarren )

Songs my mother taught me,
In the days long vanished;
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banished.
Now I teach my children,
Each melodious measure.
Oft the tears are flowing,
Oft they flow from my memory's treasure.

Trout Quintet
Piano Quintet A major “ Forellen – Quintet “ Op.114 by
Franz Schubert in 1819.

The Trout Quintet is the popular name for the Piano Quintet
in A major by Franz Schubert.
The work was composed in 1819, when Schubert was only 22
years old;it was not published, however, until 1829, a year
after his death.
Rather than the usual piano quintet lineup of piano and
string quartet, Schubert's piece is written for piano,
violin, viola, cello and double bass.
The composer Johann Nepomuk Hummel had rearranged his own
Septet for the same instrumentation, and the Trout was
actually written for a group of musicians coming together
to play Hummel's work.
The piece is known as the Trout because the fourth movement
is a set of variations on Schubert's earlier Lied
"Die Forelle" (The Trout).

제4악장에 그의 가곡 ‘송어’의 멜로디를 테마로 변주곡을 썻기
때문에‘송어의 퀸테트’로불리는 슈베르트의 청춘이 신선하게
담겨진 실내악 작품 최초의 걸작.

The Last Rose of Summer


Renee Fleming - "Tis The Last Rose of Summer "

"The Last Rose Of Summer"

'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone
All her lovely companions are faded and gone
No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem
Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead

So soon may I follow when friendships decay
And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown
Oh who would inhabit this bleak world alone?
This bleak world alone

Nat King Cole - Mona Lisa & Autumn Leaves



Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely
They have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there, and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa


Autumn Leaves ; by Nat King Cole



(French Lyrics by Jacques Prévert,
English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer,
Music by Joseph Kosma)

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

C’est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m’aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m’aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis

Mozart Trio for Piano, Violin & Cello in B flat-Major, K.502





W.A. Mozart Trio for Piano, Violin & Cello in B flat–Major, K.502

1st Mov.: Allegro


Violin : Anne - Sophie Mutter
Piano : Andre Previn
Cello : Daniel Mutter- Schott


피아노, 클라리넷, 비올라의 편성으로 된 것을 포함해서 8편이나
되는 3중주곡 중에서 E 장조와 함께 가장 뛰어난 작품.

생활에 쫓기면서도 완성한 창자력으로 다산적 ( 多産的 ) 이던
빈 시절의 산물이다.

이 시절에 씌어진 실내악곡 중에서 가장 양적으로 많은,
피아노를 중심한 3중주곡은 독특한 성격을 가지고 그의
빈시절을 장식하고 있는데, 그는 새로운 표현력을 가진
신악기로 등장한 피아노를 가족적인 실내악에 가담
시킴으로써 형식적으로 엄격하고 순수한 현악중심의
실내악곡으로는 바라기 힘든 가볍고 화려한 사교적
분위기를 조성하기에 성공했다.
