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. Level: Grades 6-7; Early Advanced-Advanced. / Ensemble Music, Instrumental Music / Recueil / Piano, Violon et Violoncelle

Deux nouvelles ?uvres de Beethoven furent donn?es pour la premi?re fois ? Vienne au printemps 1804 lors de deux repr?sentations priv?es pour le prince Lobkowitz. Il s?agit de sa 3e symphonie op. 55 et du triple concerto op. 56 pour piano violon violoncelle et orchestre. M?c?ne et grand amateur d?art Lobkowitz eut ainsi l?opportunit? de d?couvrir deux ?uvres fra?chement compos?es tandis que ces auditions permettaient ? Beethoven de proc?der ? quelques am?liorations avant impression. La premi?re repr?sentation publique du triple concerto n?eut vraisemblablement lieu que quatre ans plus tard en f?vrier 1808 au Gewandhaus de Leipzig. Depuis l??uvre appartient au r?pertoire deconcert habituel de tout orchestre symphonique. La r?duction pour piano de cette ?dition urtext s?appuie sur la partition de l??dition compl?te des ?uvres de Beethoven ?galement pr?par?e par Bernard van der Linde. La pr?face de l??diteur donne des informations d?taill?es sur l??tat des sources relativement complexe de ce concerto pour trois solistes.

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

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.

First Edition Piano Trio Score and Parts-Composed for the wedding of his sister Sarah to Samuel Fulton Beatty on May 4 1940 in Barber's New York apartment.The two-minute piece makes a great prelude to any concert both as a novelty and as a well-craftedcomposition with some beautiful soaring melodies and intricate counterpoint. Late Intermediate Level.

from the Old Viennese dance tunes-Apart from the collection of 'Classical Manuscripts' composed by Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) and passed off by him as transcriptions of movements by old masters the violonist published original works very early. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces sweetening many a concert with such pieces of 'musical confectionary'. The most famous miniatures are undoubtedly 'Love's Joy' and 'Love's Sorrow' two 'old Viennese dance-tunes' in which Kreisler evoked the coffee-house atmosphere of his home town with wonderful melodies and beguiling harmonies. The miniatures are endearing lively and catchy yet with an elegiac air but full of charm and elegance. Thesemagnificent salon pieces are now available in an arrangement for piano trio by Wolfgang Birtel.
