Par PURCELL HENRY. This delightful string trio is straightforward technically, and will be fun to play for student and amateur alike. The ?Sonatas of III Parts by Henry Purcell? were first published in 1683. A facsimile of the first edition was published in 1975. This arrangement follows the facsimile faithfully, simply writing out the first violin and cello parts of the trio sonata, with the second violin part transposed down an octave in places to suit the viola. This edition follows Purcell's original text without the dynamics and bowing that later editors added. Scholars generally agree that in Purcell's time players decided themselves how to make the music expressive by using bowing and dynamics according to their tastes. / Date parution : 2022-03-16/ Répertoire / Violon, Alto ou Violon et Violoncelle

Par MARTINU BOHUSLAV. Bohuslav Martin (1890-1959) was a prolific Czech composer, writing many large scale works. The composer moved to Paris in 1923 where he began experimenting in a variety of composition styles. His String Trio was published in 1951. Martin himself was a violinist and many of his experiments in composing for solo instruments and small ensembles saw him write for his own instrument and for the familiar strings. String Trio is made up of two movements; 1) Allegro and 2) Poco moderato. With a typical performance lasting about 15 and a half minutes, the String Trio for Violin, Viola and Celloprovides advanced string players with an exciting, challenging and inspiring ensemble work, addressing a variety of musical features. Martin 's String Trio is essential to aspiring string ensembles./ Répertoire / Violon, Alto et Violoncelle
