Trio in G major, K. 564 Mozart
(1756-1791)
This trio, like the E major, was a product of the same summer of
1788 in which Mozart wrote what are commonly regarded as his
three greater symphonies - the G minor, E flat and C major. Indeed,
the symphonies were actually written in the months that separated
the trios, for the E major was written in June, the G major in
October.
Of additional interest is the fact that this trio was originally
written as a solo sonata for piano. When the occasion arose for
Mozart to transform it into its present form, he had the score copied
in a way that made it possible for him to add the string parts. As one
may observe in the Allegro, there is more unison writing for the
strings than is customary in Mozart's works, perhaps for this reason.
There is a good deal of brilliance in the writing for the piano, which
may be characterized as an example of his concerto rather than his
chamber music style. In the Andante he uses the unusual (for
Mozart) meter of 3/ 8 for his theme, which is followed by six variations.
The first presents a canon between violin and cello, but the
latter has the lead in the second. In both, there is background elaboration
by the piano. The last two variations are, respectively,
minor and rna jor. The final Allegretto (in 6/ 8) also is built on a
variation scheme, of which the concluding section is a long and
rather elaborate coda.
TrioinDminor, Op. 32 Arensky
(1861-1906)
Arensky was described by Rimsky-Korsakov as "the reveller who
burned the candle at both ends, finally depleting the last drop of tallow
at the age of 45 ." Spiritual son of Tchaikovsky, whose influence
upon him was considerable; Arensky is best known for his unreservedly
romantic approach, his enchanting melodies , lush harmonies
and poetic mastery of the minor keys.
The T rio in D minor dates from 1893 and was composed in
honor of Karl Davidov, virtuoso and founder of the Russian school of
the cello. The first movement is based on three themes: the first , a
long spinning melody; the second a beautiful spacious cantilena ; and
the third, dynamic and driving.
The second movement is a capricious, cascading Scherzo, like a
high-speed waltz . It surrounds a middle section in which the piano
accompanies the string melodies in a manner verging on the grotesque.
Entitled "Elegie," the third movement is a sombre and poetic
treatment of a funeral march, interspersed with eloquent recitatives.
A very dynamic A llegro non troppo concludes the work. Here
the theme of the Elegie is recalled as well as the first theme of the first
movement. The whole work has a charming eloquence which has
made it a universal favorite .
Trio in D minor, Op. 49 Mendelssohn
(1809 -1847)
Schumann wrote of this work "This is the master-trio of our time,
even as Beethoven's B flat and D, and Schubert's in E flat were masterpieces
in their day; it is an exceedingly fine composition which will
gladden our grandchildren and great grandchildren for many years
to come." It is the first of two Trios he was to write .
The first movement opens with the broad, melodious and somewhat
melapcholy main subject which in the continuation develops
tremendous energy. In the Andante con mota tranquillo, there is a
riot of melody, once more a "song without words,." the middle section
of which verges on the dramatic . The Scherzo transports us again to
that forest -world, alive with elfin frolic, which the composer was able
to depict with such peculiar skill. The dance-like opening of the
Finale reveals a most charming prospect; but still more attracti~e is
the second theme, so full of genuine feeling, which is later to shine
forth in D major , though it yields to the dance-like theme in the
coda.
THE BEAUX ARTS TRIO
The Prix Mondial du Disque is the latest in a long line of distinguished
awards presented to THE BEAUX ARTS TRIO, the consummate
chamber ensemble acclaimed by The New York Times as
"the leading piano trio in the world." Among the group's other
awards are the Grand Prix du Disque, the Union de Ia Presse Musical
Beige and the Gramophone "Record of the Year." The Trio's extensive
discography on Philips Records encompasses the entire piano
trio literature, and its sold-out concert tours season after season attest
to its audience appeal.
The Beaux Arts Trio is the propitious union of pianist Menahem
Pressler, violinist Isidore Cohen and cellist Bernard Greenhouse.
The three achieve a rare, much-acclaimed sense of ensemble,
enhanced through their long-standing association. Wrote the Washington
Post: "Although they have been playing essentially the same
repertoire for more than a quarter-century, the whole program had
a sense of freshness and excitement; familiarity has given them ease
in the music's intricacies and has put a fine polish on the way they
play together without for a moment dulling their spontaneity or enthusiasm."
The Beaux Arts Trio made its official public debut twenty-eight
years ago at the Berkshire Festival in Tanglewood, where the late
maestro Charles Munch compared the artists to the famous collaboration
of Thibaud, Casals and Cortot. Since then the Trio has performed
worldwide, with over 4,000 engagements throughout North
America, Europe, Japan, South America, Australia, New Zealand,
Africa and the Middle East, winning the admiration of critics and
audiences everywhere. Fellow musicians have sung the Trio's praises,
including the late maestro Arturo Toscanini, who lauded the players'
"impeccable taste and musicianship" and described their performance
as "an inspiring experienc~."
Wherever the Beaux Arts Trio appears, return engagements
inevitably follow. To detail here all of the appearances of a long and
successful career is impossible. One of the more recent performances
is the ensemble's debut at the Ravinia Festival. Among the Trio's
prestigious annual engagements are those at th~ Library of Congress,
where they are in residence; Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival;
Harvard University's Sanders Theatre; the Metropolitan Museum
Series in New York; the Brooklyn Academy of Music; Chicago's
Chamber Music Council; and, every other year, the Denver Chamber
Music Society.
MENAHEM PRESSLER, pianist, was born in Magdeburg, Germany
and grew up in Israel. He began his professional career in the United
States at the age of seventeen, when he won the First Prize in San
Francisco's first international piano competition. This auspicious
achievement led to solo appearances with major U.S. orchestras; his
first American tour was highlighted by five solo appearances with the
Philadelphia Orchestra. Mr. Pressler's engagements with orchestras
of international renown include the New York Philharmonic, the
Cleveland Orchestra, the National Symphony of Washington, D.C.,
the Israeli Philharmonic and the London Philharmonic. He· has performed
under such distinguished conductors as Dimitri Mitropoulos,
George Szell , Eugene Ormandy, Leopold Stokowski, Georges Enesco,
Antal Dorati, Paul Paray, Izler Solomon and Frederic Waldman.
Menahem Pressler tours extensively world-wide both as a soloist and
as a member of the Beaux Arts Trio. He holds the position of Distinguished
Professor of Music on the piano faculty of the Indiana
University School of Music and also takes time every winter to teach
at the Jerusalem Music Center. He has recorded for Philips, Musical
Heritage and Monitor.
ISIDORE C~HEN, violinist, was born in New York City of Russian
immigrant parents. Originally planning a career in medicine, he
grew to love the violin while in the armed services. Upon his return he
was accepted into the Juilliard School to study with Ivan Galamian.
He has been concertmaster of the Mostly Mozart Festival in Lincoln
Center (where he also appeared as soloist) , The Little Orchestra
Society in New York and the orchestra of the Casals Festival in
Puerto Rico, among others. Mr. Cohen makes frequent solo appearances
throughout the United States. His extensive chamber music
background includes membership in the Juilliard String Quartet, the
Schneider Quartet and appearances with the Budapest Quartet and
the prestigious Music from Marlboro.
BERNARD GREENHOUSE, cellist, was born and raised in New
Jersey. He studied at Juilliard and made his New York recital debut
at Town Hall to great critical acclaim. Mr. Greenhouse then went to
Europe for an audition with Pablo Casals which turned into two
years of study with the great Spanish master. Wrote Casals: "Bernard
Greenhouse is not only a remarkable cellist, but what I esteem more,
a dignified artist." Since then Mr. Greenhouse has won an enviable
reputation as one of the major interpreters on his instrument, making
appearances in most of the major cities of both Europe and
America in recital, with orchestra, with chamber music ensembles
and with recordings for Columbia, RCA, Concert Hall and the
American Recording Society. He plays the famous "Paganini" Stradivarius
cello, dated 1707. Mr. Greenhouse is on the faculty of the
Manhattan School of Music, and the State University of New York in
Stony Brook where he is Professor of Music .
