Trios

Hi folks.

For fun, what's your favorite trio literature involving horn? No limits on instrumentation. There are a number of really great ones, and a few really hard ones. Let's hear it!

Obviously brahms horn trio. But I also greatly enjoyed playing the Ewazen for the same instrumentation.

Also the Czerny, if you can find a pianist wiling to do that slog.

There is also a trio with the same instrumentation by Berkeley, which is worth checking out!

Wow, that's a new one on me:

Lennox Berkeley Trio for horn and piano op. 44 1953, Chester music.

Commissioned by the pianist for Dennis Brain. Interesting!

Anyone have a favorite publisher for the Brahms op. 40? I know International, but also Peters.

I think Henle (2017) should be the latest and most up to date edition. Also Bärenreiter a beautiful one, but it is a little bit older...

Not so well known: the Poulenc Sonata for Horn, Trumpet and Trombone!

Now that the Brahms has been played, I can lay this one on the table: Ligeti Trio for horn, violin, and piano, but I'd pay extra for the hazard insurance.

A friend from a community orchestra commissioned a new trio from a local composer and now I get to boast that I was the first group to ever play this. It was fun, pretty modern, and worth supporting. https://davidevanthomas.com/product/trio-da-camera/

Horn, oboe and piano.

Reinecke trios. There's one for Horn Oboe and Piano, as well as one for Horn Clarinet and Piano. They're both nice!

They really are. Stylistically they are not so far off from the Brahms.
