Edition Schott

'Privacy' means separation. The title of the trio for clarinet, violin and piano thus describes the character of the piece. The piano weaves sound tapestries of deep and long, yet fully fingered chords which increase their tempo in the course of the piece. In contrast to that, the melody of the violin is for the most part played in a very high register. It is the clarinet that fills the space between these extremes by means of trembling trills, always following the rhythm of the violin and answering to the latter like an echo.
Instrumentation : clarinet, violin and piano
