Piano Terzetto

Résumé

The first movement 'Breakfast al fresco' is dominated by impressionistic colour, delicate tremoli sul ponticello and flageolet sounds in the two strings are juxtaposed with precise runs in the piano. The title of the second movement is self-explanatory: 'Parade alla russe' quotes an old Russian soldiers' song 'Nightingale, little bird ...' and is also a reference to Eric Satie's circus pictures.
Instrumentation:
piano trio
