Par . String duets tend to be somewhat upstaged by other instrumentations for string chamber music?especially string quartets, yet the string duet is an ideal introduction to the world of chamber music for anyone who is learning an instrument. Fabian Payr and Ruth Bamberger have selected 15 suitable harpsichord works from the Baroque period and have arranged them for two string instruments. These easily playable duet pieces are especially appropriate as material for instrumental lessons but also as repertoire for student performances. They encourage the study of Baroque performance practice and promote the somewhat overlooked subject of chamber music ensemble playing. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Violon et Violoncelle

Par SPOHR LOUIS. Piano Trio in B-flat major Op. 133 for Piano, Violin and Cello. One year after the completion of the 'Quartett-Konzert', Op. 131, Louis Spohr finished his fourth Piano Trio, Op. 133 (1846). The first Piano Trio was greeted by the musical world with 'uncommon joy'. Whilst Spohr often wrote a final movement in virtuoso form in order to secure an effective ending, the strength of the final movement in Op. 133 lies in its pleasant lightness, transparency and rhythmic pithiness. This Trio is earnestly recommended to professional artists and amateur musicians as a graceful chamber composition of the romantic period./ Répertoire / Trio
