Reed Trio (Auric)
Movements
i Décidé, ii Romance.Très modéré, iii Finale. Vif et joyeux
Notes
The clarinet takes the initial lead in the dancing, vibrantly rhythmic first movement of Auric’s 1938 Trio. The very lyrical Romance combines the instruments with intertwining melodies; the word express if and the dynamic marking piano (soft) pepper the movement’s final pages. The final portion of the trio contrasts playful triplet patterns with quieter, more sedate interludes.
