Based on Robert Schumann. Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke, Band II/3. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. The Fairy-Tale Narratives (Märchenerzählungen) for B-flat Clarinet (ad libitum Violin), Viola and Piano, Op. 132, belong to the few Schumann works that were composed, revised and published in a short time: composed in Düsseldorf, at beginning of October 1853, the new composition was already offered for publication to the Breitkopf & Härtel publishing house on 3 November and printed in February 1854. Composition and publication of the Märchenerzählungen were accompanied, though, by difficult times, the final days before the composer was admitted to the psychiatric clinic in Endenich. The work’s reception lies in the shadow of the last creative period: The pieces were associated with his life’s darker phases and were very little played. The Märchenerzählungen transmit Schumann’s single work for this unusual piano trio with viola and clarinet. The only well-known earlier example in this setting at that time is Mozart’s “Kegelstatt” Trio K 498 (composed in 1786). Schumann was certainly already acquainted with the work from his Leipzig years – it was played in one of the “quartet sessions” in 1829. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Clarinette, Alto et Piano

Score and Parts-Karel Husa is a Czech composer the bulk of whose career took place in the last half of the twentieth century. The Sonata A Tre is for Violin Clarinet and Piano and was premiered in Hong Kong in 1982 by the Verdehr Trio.It is an exciting and virtuosic piece which explores new sounds and techniques both on individual instruments and as an ensemble.

Tibetan Dance was composed in October 200 for the Verdehr Trio of the Michigan State University. Scored for Clarinet Violin and Piano it calls upon the musicians to also use their instruments as percussion with the violinist sometimes tapping the soundboard to create a drum-like rhythm. Written as three movements: Prelude Song Dance it weaves together themes from China Japan and the composer’s native Tibet creatinga mesmerising cross-cultural counterpoint. Bright Sheng is a contemporary Chinese composer who settled and studied in America following the Cultural Revolution. He is known for writing traditional Chinese tunesand folk songs in a western style.

This one-movement piece with a duration of 11 minutes stems from the estate of Giselher Klebe who died in 2009. The work is delightful to play, rich in gesture, easy on the ear and ideal for private music making. Moreover it constitutes a valuable addition to the repertoire for violin, clarinet and piano, an appealing combination of instruments, for which composers such as Ives, Bartók, A. Berg und Krenek composed works of standing during the 20th century. / Clarinette, Violon Et Piano

Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Cloud Movements for Clarinet Violin and Piano. Cloud Movements was premiered by Ensemble Matisse on the 8th January 2015 at the Purcell Room (South Bank) as part of the Park Lane Young Artists New Year Series. 'On honeymoon in Tuscany I was determined to come home inspired by a great work of art on which to base my next commission. However it was watching the gradually changing shape of a cloud crossing the sky over a glass of Tuscan Red that eventually inspired this work: the idea influences the harmonic progressions in the piece which gradually metamorphose in shape following no particular rules. Backhome I started reading Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything about Climate Change and Capitalism. A chapter about 'Solar Radiation Management' a potentially hazardous proposed geoengineering practice in which sulfates are sprayed into the stratosphere (with the intention of reflecting sunlight back into space) influenced the piece as it progressed (in particular the final movement). The second and fourth movements are both canons - the first a three part canon the second a four part palindromic one (palindromes also feature in the final movement).' - Cheryl Frances-Hoad
