This Trio was completed in 1929 and first performed at a concert of the League of Composers in New York in February of that year. The Jewish folk theme, which is used as an integral part of the work, was heard by the composer during a performance of Ansky's play “The Dybbuk.” The particular version of the folk tune used in the play was first heard by Ansky in his birthplace, Vitebsk.

Bohuslav Martin(1890-1959) was a prolific Czech composer, writing many large scale works. The composer moved to Paris in 1923 where he began experimenting in a variety of composition styles. Easy Studies for Two Violins was published in 1932 and is made up of nine duets. Martinhimself was a violinist, and the beginning of his experiments in composing for solo instruments and small ensembles saw him write for his own instrument. The second volume of Easy Studies for Two Violins provides intermediate violinists with alternative and enjoyable studies, addressing a variety of musical features. As a varied compilation, Martin's Easy Studies for Two Violins is essential to aspiring violinists. MORE»

Frédéric Chopin composed his piano trio when he was an 18-year-old student. About the performance of the trio on 31 August 1830 he wrote: “On Sunday we rehearsed the trio. Perhaps because I haven't heard it for a while, I was very happy with myself (fortunate man!).” Incidentally, Robert Schumann also shared this opinion, writing in a review: “Is it not as noble as possible, more full of enthusiasm than any song ever written by a poet, original in the smallest detail as in the whole, every note music and life?” We agree with this verdict and recommend this Urtext edition to all lovers of highly romantic chamber music.

The National Edition of the Works of Fryderyk Chopin
Published by PWM
Exclusively Distributed by Hal Leonard Corporation
Co-Editors
Jan Ekier and Pawel Kaminski
The objective of the National Edition is to present Chopin's complete output in its authentic form, based on the entire body of available sources. Sources were analyzed with up-to-date scientific and musicological methodology.
The National Edition was based on sources originated from the composer, mainly autographs, copies of autographs and first editions with the composer's corrections, and pupils' copies with Chopin's annotations. In cases when original sources were lacking, the closest possible materials were used. Collecting the source materials was a laborious task which took years of effort.
The characteristics of sources, the links and discrepancies between them as well as the reasons for particular editorial decisions are discussed in the Source Commentary in each volume.
The Performance Commentary appended to each volume includes: the realization of ornaments, comments on pedal markings (the original markings sometimes are inadequate, due to the difference in sound between pianos used in Chopin`s times and modern pianos), suggestions as to the “harmonic legato” (a performance technique often used by Chopin and now forgotten).

Solo guitar arrangements of classical works are often so complex that they exceed the capabilities of most guitarists. Fabian Payr's Duets for Classical Guitar avoids this pitfall by sharing the original work between two guitars. In so doing, famous compositions – from stylistically varied periods and for a range of original instrumentations – are in some cases accessible to guitarists for the first time. The collection also includes well-known pieces from the demanding solo guitar repertoire that can be worked on by less advanced players thanks to this sharing approach.

Can one imagine a better teacher of chamber music composition than Joseph Haydn? The Austrian Ignaz Pleyel assimilated his teacher's skill so well that his galant and substantial Piano Trios in C major and F major were initially attributed to the great master (and assigned the catalogue numbers Hob. XV:3 and Hob. XV:4). Pleyel's compositions enjoyed great popularity and found wide dissemination in his day. Alongside symphonies and string quartets, his nearly fifty piano trios are a particular high point in her oeuvre. Our Urtext edition here presents two brilliant examples.
