Darius Milhaud allegedly described Germaine Tailleferre's music as "tasting good." Tailleferre, the only woman in the Groupe des Six, was a musical "daughter" of Erik Satie and a successful French artist in the early 20th century. Her Trio for Piano, Violin, and Cello (1917/1978), featured in this concert, exemplifies her elegant and charming style. The concert also includes Fanny Hensel's delightful Trio op. 11 (1846), one of her last works, and Luise Adolpha Le Beau's Cello Sonata op. 17, a prize-winning piece by a then-renowned composer now largely forgotten. Clara Schumann's Three Romances for Violin and Piano complete the program, representing a rare successful female artistic career in the 19th century.

Robert Schumann's violin concerto suffered a similar fate, deemed a failed attempt and shelved by performers, with its release forbidden for 100 years. Today it's in the repertoire, and Brahms's Symphony No. 1 will form an impressive closing piece for the evening.
