Score and parts for Simon Holt's Piano Trio: Los Ojos for Piano Violin and Cello.Piano Trio: Los Ojos was first performed on 25th November 2013 in the Amaryllis Fleming ConcertHall at the Royal College of Music London by Johannes Marm?n (Violin) Zo? Saubat (Cello) and Gwenaelle Rouger (Piano).I finished writing Piano trio: Los Ojos in early May 2007. It is approximately13 minutes long and has a three-movement structure of essentially two slow movements separated by a central fast section. The final slow movement is a variation of the opening movement ending with a ?toy? defined by ThomasMace(a contemporary of William Lawes) in his 1676 book Musicke?s Monument as ?a light-Squibbish Thing only fit for Fantastical and Easie-Light-Headed People; and are of any sort of Time?.The Machado poem behindthe piece Los Ojos (the eyes) is about a widower who has locked himself away but after a year begins to wonder about the colour of his beloved?s eyes. He is horrified that he can?t remember. One spring day he leaves the houseand just happens to glimpse a flash of eyes through a window and instantly recalls the colour; ??Como esos!?; ?Like those!?. The three movements have the titles: 1] su memoria y el espejo ?his memory and the mirror?; 2] ?Comoeran? ?How were they??; and 3] ?Como esos! ?Like those!?. - Simon Holt

For Violin Cello and Piano. Composer's Notes 'Even though this work was intended to celebrate (as instructed by the commissioner Brolly Arts of Salt LakeCity) the wildlife and landscape of Utah (and especially its birdlife notably the sora which has a noticeable influence on the melodic writing at times) the title refers ironically in this 'natural' context to the re-seeing’of (mainly industrial) reality in early Soviet photography. Aleksandr Rodchenko (1881-1956) drew attention to the new type of photographer as someone who photographs 'facts' and who is able through photography to fight against'looking like art' with high quality examples and to do this you have to experiment going as far as the ‘easelisation’ of the photographic art.The work was written for and first performed by the Ahn Trio in November2004 in Salt Lake City and is dedicated to the memory of John Peel the British radio disc jockey who died during the final stages of its composition.' - Michael Nyman

A delightful collection of well-loved piano solos (and one song) by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven; arranged - with equal difficulty parts - for violin, cello and piano. Whether just for pleasure, or a public concert, or as GCSE/A-level ensembles, these pieces will be very useful, with the added bonus of having familiarity in another form. They would also make appealing encores for amateur or professional chamber musicians.

After an early work and a discontinued attempt in 1831/32 Mendelssohn made his breakthrough in this important chamber music genre in the summer of 1839 with the Piano Trio in d minor op. 49 which was to be followedsix years later by the Trio in c minor op. 66. On publication of the first trio Schumann took the opportunity to describe the composer as the ?Mozart of the 19th century? whereby he was obviously alluding to the mixtureof Classical and Romantic stylistic elements. The musical text of these two famous Trios has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings. In addition HN 1297 also includes a Flute part for thealternative version of op. 49 (Flute instead of Violin) that Mendelssohn himself made.

When Smetana composed his Piano trio in the autumn of 1855 it was an act of catharsis to recover from the death of his four-year-old daughter Friederike. This highly emotional work was also his first large-scale piece of chambermusic. Its first public performance in December 1855 was regrettably not a great success and so Smetana embarked on a protracted process of reworking it. By the late 1850s it had reached its current form. Smetana always liked toperform it but only found a publisher for it in 1880 when one of his pupils invited the Hamburg publisher Hugo Pohle to a performance at short notice. Smetana specialist Milan Posp Å¡il has based this Henle Urtext edition on thefirst edition by Pohle but has also drawn upon the earlier sources. This has enabled him to iron out numerous inconsistencies found in the first edition.

Archduke. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. By the time Beethoven completed the ?Archduke? Trio in 1811 he had been working on it for several years. In April 1814 he could finally give the work its première together with Ignaz Schuppanzigh and Joseph Linke, this being Beethoven?s last public appearance as a pianist. He dedicated the piece to his friend, pupil and patron, Archduke Rudolph of Austria. Today it numbers among his most celebrated pieces of chamber music, not least because of its remarkable melodiousness ? a feature typical of Beethoven?s music from these years ? and its spacious formal design. Jonathan Del Mar?s new critical edition of the Trio draws not only on early prints but also on various handwritten sources. A detailed introduction by Misha Donat is devoted to the work?s historical contexts. - Urtext edition of Beethoven?s most famous piano trio - Detailed introduction (Eng/Ger), editor?s foreword (Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng) / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano
