Commissioned by Chamberosity, Eric Ewazen's Trio for Horn, Violin, and Piano pays homage to Brahms' work for the same instruments. Ewazen's four movements are modeled after the Brahms, with a slow-fast-slow-fast scheme. A mysterious first movement accumulates depth and momentum, then returns to the gentle world of the opening. The second movement is a rip-roaring scherzo, with melodies tossed between the violin and horn. The melancholy third movement features long lyric melodies, and the final movement, following an austere introduction, turns into a grand fugue, full of life and excitement. For advanced performers. / Partitions classique / Ensemble et orchestre / Musique de chambre / THEODORE PRESSER COMPANY
