Skroup Trio for Piano, Clarinet (Violin) & Violoncello in E-flat major Op.27 (Score & Parts)
Frantisek Jan Skroup (b. 1801–1862) is known to the public first and foremost as the composer of the Czech national anthem. He was also music director of the Estates Theatre in Prague during 1837–57 where he conducted major works from the international opera repertoire and composed a series of works. Taken from his small lesser known output of chamber music, the Trio in E-flat major Op.27 (BA 9521) is being published for the first time in an Urtext edition and is dedicated to the pianist and composer Sigismond Goldschmidt. It is stylistically reminiscent of Beethoven’s chamber music; its unison opening recalls, for example, Beethoven’s famous “Gassenhauer Trio”.
This pleasing composition from unknown repertoire of Czech chamber music from the period of the national revival movement, can be performed in two different scorings.
- First Urtext edition
- Alternative version and scoring
- Foreword (Eng/Ger/Cz ) and Critical Commentary (Eng) by the editor
