Landmarks over time

The program lists the two major works played by the Australian String Quartet with Timothy Young, pianist from Ensemble Liaison, two works separated by 170+ years and claimed as landmarks.  The string quartet Interwoven by Australia Elizabeth Younan and Schumann piano quintet Ebmaj op44.  I write well after, but I noted a modern confusion (not meant as a pejorative!) of chromatics and counterpoint and rapid long scalar runs in Schumann mvt.3.

The Australian String Quartet are Dale Barltrop and Francesca Hiew (violins), Christopher Cartlidge (viola) and Michael Dahlenburg (cello).  They played with Timothy Young (piano) for the Schumann.  ASO and Timothy Young performed at Wesley for CIMF2026.
