The work ‘EIGHT PIECES’ Op.83 for clarinet, viola/cello and piano is very important in the output of Bruch for two principal reasons:-
a) it represented a successful return for him to chamber music, many years after his previous second string quartet, and was to be first of several interesting chamber works
b) with this very work he entered into the last phase of his life. From April 1911 he retired from his official duties at aged 73.
We find ourselves before one of the most valuable and singular chamber music works of late romanticism.
This article relates all the important processes during the working of these fine compositions.
