Piers Hellawell's Hall Of Mirrors for Piano Quartet.Hall Of Mirrors was my first contribution to the Schubert Ensemble's unique initiative to bring practicable chamber music to young string players and pianists. It was written in summer of 1998 in the wake of my 'full-scale' piano quartet The Building Of Curves itself a commission from the Schubert Ensemble and was first performed at the Dartington Summer School. Hall Of Mirrors is also scored for piano quartet although the viola part is playable by a second violin and is thus scored in the treble clef.At the suggestion of the Ensemble I sought to provide an analogue of the larger work ascaled-down expression that used materials clearly related to its parent. I believe that the success of this project relies in large part on its new pieces being genuinely representative of their composers rather than mere exercises that provide a product. Hall Of Mirrors therefore tries to establish a similarly unsettled atmosphere to that of the second movement of The Building of Curves and it uses the same open-string C/D ostinato for cello and nightmarish free glissandi for violin - both materials that can be impressively brought off by a player of limited virtuosity! Hall Of Mirrors was generously commissioned by Jane Ferguson. Its title indicates a reshaping of some features of the larger edifice The Building of Curves. - Piers Hellawell

Op. 82-Edward Elgar spent the summer of 1918 in the countryside. In August he received reports of the approaching end of the First World War and this good news so inspired him that he was able to finish an initial draft of his great Violin Sonata in barely four weeks. Writing about it in his diary he notated laconically: ?Wrote some music?. His wife Alice was more enthusiastic: ?E. writing wonderful new music different from anything else of his?. This magnificent music is now available in a Henle Urtext edition by the British violinist and Elgar expert Rupert Marshall-Luck. He has examined and evaluated the many sources according to all the rules of Urtext editing the sketches drafts autograph fair copies proofs and first edition.

Opus 65-Dvo ák worked longer and more intensively on this Trio than on just about any other chamber music work. After his first successes with pieces inspired by Czech folk music namely the popular Slavonic Dances (HN 757 and918) he now wanted to prove himself as a composer of the highest order. This is why in the following summer he thoroughly reworked the Trio that he had written within eight weeks in spring 1883 before giving it to his publisher.Although Brahms? music was the undeniable model for the new work it did not hinder the unfolding of a very personal tone that blends expressiveness and passion. As with the ?Dumky? Trio op. 90 (HN 799) Andreas Groethuysen isonce again responsible for the fingerings of the Piano part.

Debussy composed this work in summer 1880 in Fiesole Italy when he was 18 years old. At the time he was the musical travelling companion of Nadescha von Meck Tschaikowsky’s famous patroness. Most of the autographmaterial was thought to have been lost and was only discovered over 100 years later in 1982 in the estate of Debussy’s pupil Maurice Dumesnil. When Henle published the first edition in 1986 the music world welcomed theTrio with open arms. Ensembles rushed to play it and numerous recordings followed. Although formal conventions prevail the work displays a melodic freshness as well as inflections and phrases that are typical ofDebussy.
