Bridge - Trio works

[mikey6]

I've recently bought a CD of his music for piano trio and am liking it quite a bit.
Anyone have the scores to any of these?

Phantasy in cmin
Piano trio no.2
Miniatures (Romance, Saltarello, Valse Russe, Hornpipe)

Thanks!

Yes, I do, but not in scanned format and, in any case, Bridge remains in copyright until the end of the year after next. You mention four of the miniatures, which are perhaps the particular ones that you want, but there are nine of them altogether, published in three volumes of three each, as follows:

1. Minuet
2. Gavotte
3. Allegretto

4. Romance
5. Intermezzo
6. Saltarello

7. Valse Russe
8. Hornpipe
9. Marche Militaire

One supply source gives the composition dates for these three sets as 1909, 1910 and 1915 respectively but others appear to confrm that they were all written in or by 1908; while often regarded as mere works for amateurs or students, they are on a higher level than this, albeit not of the order of the immensely attractive Phantasie Trio which was composed in 1907 or the ambitious Piano Trio No. 2, a work dating from 1929 and as representative of the composer's maturity as well as any - Bridge's biographer, the composer Anthony Payne, regards it as one of the greatest 20th century works for its medium and I endorse this view entirely.

The composer's other chamber works, including a piano quartet, a piano quintet, a sonata for cello and piano and four string quartets are also all well worth investigating.

Wow, I thought for a second that Alistair was going to fulfill a sheet music request! I have never seen him do this on either Pianophilia or on this forum. Oh, what am I kidding, it was merely wishful thinking.

bit! Anyway, without wishing to be unhelpful (a wish which I hope is clear from my digression about Bridge's piano trio works in particular and his chamber music in general), I do have plenty to do here in preparing paper copies of Sorabji's scores (as well as my own and some of those of Marc-André Hamelin)!

Best,

Every time I read about the trio, that quote is mentioned.  I hope he's copyrighted it!
I only listed the miniatures on the CD, I didn't realise there were more.
