Piano Trio "Alaria"

Description

Violin, Violoncello, Piano — Peter Schickele’s prodigious catalog contains a wealth of chamber music for a wide spectrum of ensembles, including those for strings with and without piano. But when the Alaria Trio approached Schickele to compose a work to premiere in Carnegie Hall, it was a perfect opportunity to compose his first work for this scoring. In four movements as “absolute” music without subtitles, Piano Trio “Alaria” is a treasure of song and dance. For advanced performers. Dur.: 16'30"
