Par VAZART CLAIRE. L'oeuvre s'articule en trois mouvements. Le Prélude, au violoncelle seul, annonce les éléments mélodiques-rythmiques développés par la suite. Son thème en quartes issu des 4 cordes à vide de l'instrument se retrouve de façon cyclique dans les deux autres mouvements, Andante cantabile et Vivo à 7 temps. A la croisée de ces univers musicaux, le Libertrio est une oeuvre résolument rythmée et volontairement métissée, rythme et métissage qui en font sa richesse et son originalité. / Niveau : Moyen Avancé à Assez Difficile / Moderne / Date parution : 2009-11-01/ Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano

For more than forty years Allain Gaussin fascinated by astrophysics has found a major source of inspiration in observing the cosmos as attest a number of works going from Vent solaire (1974) to Philae (2015) by way of L’Harmonie des sphères (2006). Ten years later the 'Messiaen du Pays de la Meije' Festival hosted the first performance of the piano trio Les Céphéides. The musical journey enables the listener to enter a space 'just as impalpable and fragile' as that in which moves each Cepheid variable – this star whose brightness varies over regular periods according to two elements: the diameter of the heavenly body and thetemperature reading of its surface. How does one translate such a change in music? The bow's sautillé gettato on the violin and cello gives the score's opening pages this granular glittering that leads us 'towards the centre of the Cepheid variables'. From there a stream of colourful arabesques – the composer's 'ribbon figures' – gushes forth. After a weightless transition the cello unfurls its contemplative meditation which ends up in a suspended coda open onto the infinity of the starry vault. As musicologist Michèle Tosi accurately says so it is that the full richness 'of a teeming imaginary universe' unfolds.

Per Violino, Violoncello E Pianoforte. Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist, he began to give public performances at the age of 13, making his debut in his home town Rosario. Following this success, he embarked upon an extremely busy career as a soloist, giving numerous recitals in Buenos Aires and other citiesin Argentina. He continued to take advanced lessons with eminent exponents of the most prestigious international piano schools. In 1974 he became an Italian citizen and settled in Rome, teaching piano as principal instrument at the S. Pietro a Majella StateConservatory in Naples, the Luisa DAnnunzio Conservatory in Pescara and the Alfredo Casella Conservatory in Aquila. As a composer, he began - at just 9 years of age - to study in the rigorous school of Paul Hindemith, under the guidance of Father Luis Machado, from whom he inherited a love of counterpoint and a strong taste for harmony. He took a diploma incomposition, counterpoint and fugue at the age of 16 at the Amigos del Arte Society in Rosario, going on in 1964 to do an advanced course in 12-tone counterpoint at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The catalogue of his compositions, which has nowreached Op. 55, encompasses a huge range of instrumental/vocal chamber music and symphonic works: a vast and articulated catalogue, in which Sergio Calligaris’s composition expresses its inspiration through the dramatic development of a dialecticalcontrast between the two natures of the composer’s personality - the elegiac and the dithyrambic - which confront and interact with each other giving rise to artistic outcomes of a deeply moving nature. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano

L'éditeur Jacques Durand, qui avait publié quelques années auparavant le célèbre Trio de Ravel, suggère en 1922 à Fauré d'écrire un trio, qui sera son avant-dernière partition. Le compositeur ne dépasse tout d'abord pas le stade de quelques esquisses et réfléchit un temps à mettre une clarinette à la place du violon. Ce n'est que durant son séjour estival à Annecy-le-Vieux en Savoie qu'il réussit à composer l'Andantino, mouvement central élégiaque d'une ampleur inhabituelle. Suivent les premier et troisième mouvements qu'il écrit durant l'hiver suivant, à Paris. L'édition Urtext de ce morceau de maturité aux contours et aux lignes claires, qui offre un bel équilibre entre le piano et les instruments à cordes, représente un ajout de poids dans le catalogue de musique française de G. Henle Verlag. / Violon, Violoncelle Et Piano
