Trio for Clarinet (Viola), Violoncello and Piano, op. 114

Johannes Brahms: Trío para clarinete (o viola), violonchelo y piano, op. 114.

Edited by Christopher Hogwood.

Score + parts.

Brahms?s Clarinet Trio, composed in 1891, was inspired by the exceptional musicality of clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld. As he did for his horn trio, Brahms prepared a viola part as a possible alternative to the clarinet. Bothscorings were rehearsed (the viola part being played by Joseph Joachim) prior to the premiere and publication of the work.

Bärenreiter?s scholarly-critical edition, prepared by Christopher Hogwood, offers a foreword on thetrio?s compositional process with comments on performance practice, as well as a comprehensive critical commentary and facsimile excerpts of the manuscript.

-Viola part included as an alternative to the clarinet part.
-With a detailed foreword on the work?s genesis and performance Practice.
