Chamber Music
on: September 23, 2005, 10:30:33 AM
Hi! I'm a newbie here and I'm thrilling with all the info we can access here!!!
You're doing an awesome job!

I'm a piano student and on my course we have to play chamber music. My group consists on a pianist, a flautist and a violinist.
So far, we found pieces by Martinu. Did someone have the same experience and could advise me with other repertoire than Martinu?

Thank you!


PS: Hope you understand my not so good english...  ::)

Deux interludes by Ibert (play the harp on piano or harpsichord if you can play it) - tis gorgeous and not too hard.
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

Thank you for your suggestion!
Since "Le petit âne blanc" I just adore this composer...
I also found 2 trios, one from Haendel and other from Haydn.

Who didn't? It's just a delightful little thing!  ;)
Which edition are those Interludes? I found an Aria for this trio by Ibert too, it's Leduc's Edition. It's kinda hard to find repertoire for piano, flute and violin (I did't choose the composition of the trio), it would have been easier if it were a cello instead of a violin...  :-\

Hi mikey!

Just wanna ask you if you have the score or a recording of the Deux interudes. I'm having a hard time on finding one of these quickly...  :'(

I'm sure there are some baroque trio sonatas for flute (or recorder) and violin...if you're not familiar with this reportoire, the two non-keyboard instruments play a duet with the piano or harpsichord confined to a very subsidiary accompaniment role. Many of these are rather nice, but boring for pianists. If you are the low-maintenance type, however, check out Telemann, Vivaldi, Handel, etc. I'm sure they wrote for this combination.

Hi MrChops!

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Unfortunately, the project doesn't allow us to have this kind of repertoire (the pianist can't have a mere accompaniment role)... Pitty, because there were lots of pieces we could have done!  :-\
That's why I'm having so much trouble finding some scores... Right now, we are starting Martinu's "Promenades", and later we'll see his Sonata, but we're looking for a more diverse repertoire.

I'll keep looking!
