Tchaikovsky wrote little in the way of chamber music but left three masterpieces: the Piano Trio, Op.50, Sextet “Souvenir de Florence”, Op.70, both of them 'tombeaux' in memory of departed friends, and the third and final Quartet, in the strange, feverish key of E flat minor, of which Chopin was fond, in memory of violinist Ferdinand Laub (1832-1875). At the first performance, the Andante funebre e doloroso had reduced the audience to tears. The Párkányís, the resurrection of the Orlandos of 1976-84, again find a smile with a youthful Quartet Movement, in homage to the masters of the genre: Beethoven and Schubert.
