G. Henle Verlag Trio for Piano, Clarinet (Violin) and Violoncello in D-minor Op. 3 - Zemlinsky/Rahmer - Score/Parts

Composer: Alexander Zemlinsky
Editor: Dominik Rahmer
Format: Softcover
Instrumentation: Piano, Clarinet (Violin), Cello

Alexander Zemlinsky is mainly known for his operas and orchestral songs with their opulent late Romantic orchestration. His earlier, inspired hit, the Trio for Clarinet Op. 3, written in 1896, owes a great deal to his first important role model Johannes Brahms as far as inflection and instrumentation are concerned. And it was none other than Brahms himself who enthusiastically recommended the trio to his publisher Simrock, following the first performance in Vienna.

As the autograph has disappeared, this G. Henle edition follows the musical text in the first edition. It underwent careful examination and was cleared of numerous, partly blatant engraver's errors. Alongside the piano score, this edition comprises a part for clarinet in Bb/A, an authentic alternative part for violin as well as a cello part.
