Trio violin, cello and piano

Piano Trio in B-flat major Op.133 for Piano Violin and Cello. One year after the completion of the 'Quartett-Konzert' Op.131 Louis Spohr finished his fourth Piano Trio Op.133 (1846). The first Piano Trio was greeted by the musical world with 'uncommon joy'. Whilst Spohr often wrote a final movement in virtuoso form in order to secure an effective ending the strength of the final movement in Op.133 lies in its pleasant lightness transparency and rhythmic pithiness. This Trio is earnestly recommended to professional artists and amateur musicians as a graceful chamber composition of the romantic period.

For Violin Cello and Piano. Composer's Notes 'Even though this work was intended to celebrate (as instructed by the commissioner Brolly Arts of Salt LakeCity) the wildlife and landscape of Utah (and especially its birdlife notably the sora which has a noticeable influence on the melodic writing at times) the title refers ironically in this 'natural' context to the re-seeing’of (mainly industrial) reality in early Soviet photography. Aleksandr Rodchenko (1881-1956) drew attention to the new type of photographer as someone who photographs 'facts' and who is able through photography to fight against'looking like art' with high quality examples and to do this you have to experiment going as far as the ‘easelisation’ of the photographic art.The work was written for and first performed by the Ahn Trio in November2004 in Salt Lake City and is dedicated to the memory of John Peel the British radio disc jockey who died during the final stages of its composition.' - Michael Nyman
