Three Movements for Piano Trio

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

Op. 2 No. 3-Beethoven’s three Piano sonatas op. 2 were the first works in this genre to which he gave an opus number thus signalling to the music world the special importance that he assigned to them. He wrote them during his first years inVienna and along with his op. 1 piano trios op. 1 they helped to establish his reputation as one of the most significant composers of his time. These three sonatas all of them small masterpieces are arranged in ascendingorder of difficulty and virtuosity. This large-scale Sonata in C is notable for its swift outer movements marked Allegro con brio and Allegro assai respectively. They demand a considerable degree of virtuosity from evenexperienced performers. If all goes well the audience will marvel! Murray Perahia’s fingerings have been tried and tested over several decades of performing these works and offer a new approach to these milestones of the pianorepertoire.

This excellent work from the popular British composer contains three movements: two slow movements and a scherzo-march. Commissioned by the Gemelli Trio and premiered by the ensemble at the 1997 Cheltenham Festival. Score available: CH61401

This three movement piano trio from Giselher Klebe's late period of creativity originates from his estate. The composition's appeal lies in the clear, restrained diction whilst at the same time a high intensity of expression is achieved. Two diverse slow outer movements with eruptive injections frame a lively middle movement. This work which has a duration of 20 minutes undoubtedly represents an impressive document of a musical style which we perceive today as the classical modern. / Violon, Violoncelle Et Piano

It is unknown precisely when and where Mozart wrote this delightful Piano sonata but Vienna or Salzburg around 1783 is likely which is around the time of the production of Idomeneo. Mozart composed the sonata in three-movementstructure. The first andante grazioso is a theme with six variations; the second includes a minuet and trio; the third is the famous rondo alla turca and allegretto which is frequently performed as a separate piece. TheTurkish style was fashionable in Vienna at that time in imitation of Turkish janissary bands. Mozart used it again in his opera Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail.

Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH. Souvenir d'un Lieu Cher (Memories of a Dear Place) is a collection of three pieces for violin and piano. The first - Méditation - was written in Clarens in Switzerland in March 1878. Tchaikovsky originally intended it to be the slow movement of his violin concerto, but later replaced it with the more substantial Canzonetta and recast it for violin and piano. The other two movements were composed in May of the same year on the estate of his benefactress, Nadeja von Meck at Brailovo in Ukraine which is the 'dear place' of the title. It was published in in May 1879. The work is very characteristic of Tchaikovsky's style. It is built on beautiful melodies, with a Russian folk inflection, and contains a variety of contrasting sections. The outer movements are written in a gentle lyrical style, whereas the scherzo is fast and furious creating a mood of stormy anger. The trio section is based on a simple melody with a tinge of sadness about it. The solo part exemplifies Tchaikovsky's mastery of violin writing, using as it does a wide range of timbres and effects. / Répertoire / Violon et Piano
