Souvenirs 
Chocolate Tasting by 
Gifted artists unite to perform two stunning and romantic string sextets; scored for two violins, two violas, and two celli
Sextet in G Major No. 2 Op. 36 by Johannes Brahms was composed in the comfortable country surroundings of Lichtental, Germany. According to Brahms’ biographer Karl Geiringer, the first movement conceals a reference to the first name of Agathe von Siebold (with whom he was infatuated at the time) with the notes a-g-a-d-h-e.
Peter Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence Op. 70 is a compositional jewel in remembrance of his travels to Italy. Tchaikovsky dedicated the work to the St. Petersburg Chamber Music Society in response to his becoming an Honorary Member.
