Thanks for all the information. Fantastic. Yes, there's Night Song right
on the list, 6 minutes, perfect. I'm going to hire the parts. I don't
know his music, I must admit. now that I examine the worklist it looks
verry interesting, ah, there's another piece we could do, Dream, written
in 1970, for "Any instruments and any number of performers Duration any
minutes":-) That sounds like fun. Playing score on sale..can someone
elaborate on this?
To answer your question, Martin, it's piano trio, and we have a few
areas that we want to explore. The American romantic-style composers
wrote some lovely music, and there is a goodly number of little-known
romantic jewels from that epoch. We look for interesting music from
Spanish composers, of course, because we live here. Then there is some
geographical considerations in our repertoire as well. We would like to go
to Australia, and one of our members is Australian. We'd like program some
music from there, and get to know it, and the music community, as we try to
find concert opportunities. So that tends to focus a search, if you know
what I mean. This summer we're doing an all-Czech program. I've never
been to Prague. It's nice when a place you want to go to coincides with
great music. Dvorak, Martinu and Suk.
Ah, I did have a question. There's Beethoven, Op. 1. The Korngold trio is
Op. 1. Is there another trio Op.1 to complete the program?
I also made contact with the Australian Music Center, back to Australian
composers. They were very helpful, and send me a small list of works that
they recommended, which I attach, if I may.
