Does anyone know about the trio for violin, clarinet and piano'? Also, what's a good edition to use for this work.

thanks

International (IMC) is the edition I've used.

Very fun piece - lots of eurasian soul

It's a great piece! You can listen to samples (with a very fine clarinetist ;-)) at:

I discovered this work recently on a CD I found in a charity shop - mine is an Antes Edition ("ist ein Label der BELLA MUSICA Tontrager GbmH"), Klarinettentrios (Bartok, Berg, Milhaud, Chatschaturjan (didn't recognise the name at first!) 1996. Karl Schelecta on clarinet. Yeah, I love this piece - best thing on the CD.

diz -

Here are some threads on the Khachaturian Trio:

It's harder than it looks. You have to play it with the full-throttle Russian romantic sweep. If you can find it, listen to the old Simeon Bellison recording. He was Russian and got it just right.

Best regards.

larry, justwanna and ken

thanks for your input.

The Armenians are a wonderful people who are, sometimes, passionately anti-Russian in my experience ... but let's not enter into ethnic debates here!! Nevertheless ... Khachaturian is the only Armenian composer I can name I hate to admit.

Ohhh I love the Khachaturian! It's great if you get a good pianist! Even better if you have a good violinist as well! LOL.

When I did it, working through just HOW to count some areas of the second movement came up as a bit of a barrier, as everyone seems to just want to do their own thing sometimes.

diz...

Hovhaness is Armenian (or is it Armenian-American?)...his original last name was Hovhanessian.

LeWhite ... I can't wait to get a recording of it and buy the music. I'll be down in Melbourne on the weekend (12th / 13th June). So a visit to Fine music (McKillop St?) is a must ... can't wait.

And I just remembered another very famous Armenian composer: Cher.

Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.
