Les oeuvres tardives de musique de chambre de Johannes Brahms comptent à coup sûr parmi les pages les plus merveilleuses jamais écrites pour la clarinette. Si Brahms, dans les dernières années de sa vie, semble avoir éprouvé une certaine lassitude de la composition, sa rencontre en 1891 avec Richard Mühlfeld, clarinettiste solo de la chapelle de la cour de Meinigen, qui l'enthousiasma par la beauté sonore de son jeu, lui inspira de nouvelles compositions. Le Trio op. 114, avec ses accents d'une mélancolie tout automnale est apprécié de tous les clarinettistes et est désormais disponible chez Henle dans une édition révisée. Le manuscrit autographe de l'opus 114 est conservé à Munich, patrie de la maison d'édition Henle. Le texte musical repose sur la nouvelle édition intégrale des oeuvres de Brahms et répond ainsi au plus niveau de précision et d'exactitude scientifique. Le pianiste Klaus Schilde a doté cette édition Urtext de précieux doigtés. / Trio pour Clarinette (Alto), Violoncelle Et Piano

Music for Clarinet in Bb, Cello and Piano. Par JOST CHRISTIAN. In this trio, as in most of his compositions, Jost has pictures and associations with true incidents, films and novels in his mind. What inspired him to write this piece was Joseph Conrad's novel 'Heart of Darkness' in which the protagonist Marlow says about the city of Brussels: 'In a few hours I arrived in a city that always make me think of a whited sepulchre.' In 'Sepulchral City', a work commissioned to mark the tenth anniversary of the Jerusalem Chamber Music Festival, however, the title refers to Jerusalem, the city of white tombs. The topic of Jost's trio is a travel into the soul and living spirit of a city, with no physical movement being needed to find the heart of impenetrable darkness: It lies within the city walls. In this respect, 'Sepulchral City' equals a compositionally unfolded funeral bell. Even the animated middle section rather has insisting than progressive power. At the end, the only thing to do is to inhale and exhale./ Répertoire / Clarinette en Bb, Violoncelle et Piano

Frantisek Jan Skroup (b. 1801 1862) is known to the public first and foremost as the composer of the Czech national anthem. He was also music director of the Estates Theater in Prague during 1837 57 where he conducted major works from the international opera repertoire and composed a series of works. Taken from his small lesser known output of chamber music the Trio In E-Flat Major Op.27 (BA 9521) and the Trio facile in F major Op.28 (BA 9522) are being published for the first time in Urtext editions.The Trio In E-Flat Major is dedicated to the pianist and composer Sigismond Goldschmidt. It is stylistically reminiscent ofBeethoven?s chamber music; its unison opening recalls for example Beethoven?s famous ?Gassenhauer Trio?. Skroup dedicated the ?Trio facile? to Jeanette Hoffmann the daughter of the Prague publisher Johann Hoffmann.As the title suggests this is an accessible piece in the Biedermeier style which was intended for music making in the home and for lessons.Both these pleasing compositions which represent unknown repertoire of Czech chamber music from the period of the national revival movement can be performed in two different scorings. The 'Trio facile? Op.28 is available in two versions by the composer with the upper part for Flute or Violin.- First Urtext editions- Two alternative versions and scorings of the works- Forewords (Eng/Ger/Cz ) and Critical Commentaries (Eng) by the editor
