Score and Parts.Commissioned by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Centre. First performance 19 May 1998 Merkin Concert Hall New York City.Quoting Weir: 'In my previous work I have often enjoyed inventing titles whichattempt to encapsulate the particular world of each composition but this fifteen minutes piece for violin cello and piano is simply entitled Piano Trio . What is the reason for this unusually abstract description? I thinkperhaps that in this piece the many external impressions which habitually make up my musical world have become too numerous and too personal to be pinned down in the space of few words that a composition title allows.The firstmovement began in my mind with impressions of Venice as relayed in Schubert's song Gondelfahrer; the crisp midnight air the dark choppy water the bells tolling the gondolier alone in emotional turmoil. Schubert's world is aplace where I can find constant inspiration and strength.The second movement recalls a time when I was called from a phone box in Africa. At one moment I was alone in my room the next (or so it seemed in my imagination)surrounded by light heat and sudden energy and activity. The movement is not however an evocation of African music; it takes the form of a scherzo and trio which collide with each other at the movement's conclusion.Thethird movement formed in my mind whilst I was reading some Gaelic poetry from the Hebridean island of Lewis on Scotland 's far flung Atlantic fringe. I was thinking of the bleached white beaches in that part of the world whereevery object lying on the sand - a washed-up bottle or a bird's skeleton - is a major event in a deserted landscape. The same might be said of this short set of musical variations where melodic fragments are laid out with plentyof space around them clear and plain for everyone to hear.

5 movements derived from the score I wrote for the Michael Nyman Band in early 2009 as a soundtrack to the film 'Poczatek'. For this project I selectedextracts from classic Polish feature and documentary films of the 50s 60s and 70s and organised them into a sequence of 20 linked one minute 'single theme' films.This version was made specially for the FidelioTrio.  -MichaelNyman (2010)

David Knotts' Coyote Star Song for Piano Trio.American Indian myth tells the story of Coyote who makes a ladder stretching from earth to sky. Five wolves climb up to have a closer look at the two grizzly bears they can see from down below. Coyote warns them not to get too close but their curiosity gets the better of them. The wolves look at the bears: the bears look at the wolves. ‘that looks good’ thinks Coyote so he leaves them there. Coyote makes pictures of stars all over the sky. - David KnottsCommission made possible by Judy Blendis.

Piano Trio Op.120 for Piano Violin & CelloGabriel Fauré?s Piano Trio his penultimate work was composed in 1922-23 and published in June 1923. The three-movement work clearly shows Fauré?s ability to combine a transparent texture with charming and elegant themes.Until now the composition has always presented musicians with considerable problems as the score offers conflicting readings when compared with the separate string parts. Without reliable information on the different readings important basic information for an appropriate interpretation of the work has been lacking. Bärenreiter?s first ever critical edition of this masterpiecefinally unites the parts with the score. All variants appear in the critical commentary to the corresponding complete edition volume of ?the Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré?.- First scholarly-critical edition of this work- High-quality Urtext edition based on ?the Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré?- Foreword (Eng/Fr/Ger)
