Trio Pour Hautbois, Basson, et Piano (Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano), FP 43, was composed by Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) between 1924 and 1926, and it is his first major chamber work. A slow writer, the young Poulenc eventually sequestered himself away from family and friends in a hotel in Cannes so that he could finish the work, although he was happy to entertain a visiting Igor Stravinsky who offered some advice (quelques bons conseils) that Poulenc then applied to the first movement. The Trio is dedicated to Manuel de Falla, and the delighted Spanish composer saw to the premiere, which took place at the Salle des Agriculteurs in Paris on May 2, 1926, Poulenc at the piano. It was well received at the premiere, has been recorded many times since, and has remained a regular part of the woodwind ensemble repertoire. Reprint edition.

Trio for Flute, Bassoon & Piano is the first of Chick Corea’s chamber music compositions. The piece was based in his piano improvisations but with this unusual instrumentation. The Trio was recorded in 1968 with the composer as pianist joined by flutist Hubert Laws and bassoonist Karl Porter. One curious feature is the muting of the piano strings while playing the keyboard to produce a percussive sound. Total performance time is about 5 minutes. Flute, Bassoon & Piano Duration: 5' Composed: 1972 Published by: Crystal Silence Music.

A Study in all Keys for Bassoon, (transcribed by Martin Gatt from Study in all Keys for Flute by Louis Drouet)..

The first edition of this work was published by Phylloscopus Publications in 2000.

Drouet’s Study in all Keys is typically virtuosic and technically demanding, and well suited to the flute. It extends over 365 bars, moving through all the tonalities, as the title suggests. There is no comparable exercise in the bassoon repertoire, and Martin Gatt has provided a transcription of this teaching aid for the benefit of post-Grade 8 students.

Louis Drouet (1792 – 1873) was a famous flautist, born in Amsterdam. It is recorded that he played at the Paris Conservatoire, aged seven, and that he was a composition pupil of Méhul and Reicha. He toured with his father in the early years of the 19th century, and was appointed court soloist to the King of Holland in 1808. A similar appointment with the Emperor of France followed in 1811. He was a very successful performer and when the monarchy was restored in France, he became first flute in the Royal Chapel. In 1817, he appeared in London to great acclaim. He spent three years in Naples as Director of the Royal Opera, then disappeared from view until Mendelssohn persuaded him to return to the concert circuit. He visited Paris, London, New York and Frankfurt, and spent 15 years in Gotha, Germany.
