Composers often draw on personal relationships for their inspirations, and all the works on this program were inspired by others. Dvořák’s friend sparked the Terzetto, Elizabeth Brown’s "Island Nocturnes," a BCM commission, drew on her admiration of Marya Martin’s flute playing, and Schumann's Piano Quartet Op. 47 was inspired by his wife, Clara.
