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

Score = Piano Part. Par THEODORAKIS MIKIS. Theodorakis composed the 'Trio for violin, violoncello and piano' in Athens during 1946-47. He had just completed his studies in composition at the Athens Conservatory and was preparing himself for his Diploma. However, he was overtaken by the Civil War. Thus, one part of the Trio was written in circumstances of persecution (underground) and another in exile (in the island of Ikaria). It is a work in which - as in the remaining works of that period - the influence of his classical music studies become apparent. Especially in the area of form, as opposed to the selection of the melodic material and the harmonic language, which bring out an authentic and original musical personality that often surprises us for its boldness./ Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano

The composer writes...Doruntine is the name of a princess in Ismail Kadare's novel of the same name which takes place in thirteenth century Albania.

À l?époque classique et pendant une grande partie du 19e siècle les trios avec piano consti-tuaient pour ainsi dire des articles très tendance. Il n?est donc pas surprenant qu?après Haydn et Mozart Beethoven se soit lui aussi essayé à ce genre et ait laissé en tout 13 trios avec piano. Ce deuxième volume contient les deux trios avec piano op. 70 le trio op. 97 ainsi que les va-riations sur la chanson «Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu» op. 121a. Comme souvent le surnom de «Trio des esprits» du trio op. 70 no 1 ne lui a pas été attribué par Beethoven lui-même mais tient sans doute aux sonorités particulières un peu lugubres du mouvement lent. Le trio op. 97 est dit «del?archiduc» en référence à son dédicataire l?archiduc Rodolphe. Il s?agit certainement du trio avec piano de Beethoven le plus significatif mais aussi le plus long puisqu?il dure plus de 45 minutes. Bien que composé dès 1810/11 il ne fut publié qu?en 1816.
