From Edition Silvertrust

Goepfart's Trio for Clarinet, Bassoon, and Piano dates from 1898. In three movements, it begins with a flowing Allegro. In the charming middle movement, Andante, Goepfart instructs the performers to play softly but with a full tone. The finale, Allegro molto, alternates between lyricism and dazzling runs

Karl Goepfart (1859-1942), after initial studies with his father, became a student of Franz Liszt in Weimar. He enjoyed a career as a concert pianist as well as a conductor, both in Europe and the United States. He wrote operas, symphonies, as well as several chamber music works.

Out of print for many years, we are pleased to make it available again. It is suitable for both professionals and amateurs alike.

glossary

  • allegro [I]—fast, lively tempo. From the Italian word for cheerful or gay.
  • andante [I]—moderately slow tempo (e.g. walking). Faster than adagio but slower than allegretto
  • chamber music, Kammermusik [G], musique de chambre [F], musica da camera [I], musica cameralis [L]—"Classical Music" for a small ensemble, generally 8 or fewer players with a canonical emphasis on 3-6 players. explore
  • finale [I], final [F]—The final movement, sometimes explicitly titled thus
  • molto [It]—very much
  • opus [L], opera[pl], Op., Opp, WoO, Op. posth—work, as in a work of art. For unique identification, publishers/composers often assign an "opus number", abbreviated as "Op." (e.g. Op. 1). A range of works by opus number, uses the plural "opp." (e.g. "Opp. 1-3"). A single opus number may refer to a collection of works (e.g. a set of quartets) giving rise to designations like "Op. 1, No. 4". For misc. works without opus numbers, "WoO" is often used (e.g."Without Opus"). Posthumously assigned numbers may use "Op. posth". Opus numbers may not precisely reflect chronology (publication vs. composition), can be erroneous, sparse or duplicative. Thus, the works of some historically important composers may use separate catalog numbers (e.g. Bach, Haydn, Schubert). See wiki
  • trio (1)—an ensemble or work for 3 players
