Publisher's Synopsis
"Piano Trio No.2, Op.73" is a musical composition in four movements for violin, cello and piano by Charles V. Stanford. Composed in 1899, it was originally dedicated to his friends, the 'Berlin Trio': Karl Heinrich Barth (1847-1922), Emanuel Wirth (1842-1923), and Robert Hausmann (1852-1909). This volume contains the complete sheet music for the composition in its original form for the enjoyment of musicians new and old. "Piano Trio No.2, Op.73" would make for a fine addition to musical collections and is not to be missed by fans of Stanford's seminal work. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924) was an Irish composer, conductor, and teacher of music. He was educated at the University of Cambridge and continued his studies in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a very influential composer, responsible for making Cambridge University Musical Society an internationally-acclaimed organisation. Stanford was also a profuse composer, producing a large corpus of work in many genres; however, he is perhaps best remembered for his Anglican choral works for church performance. His music eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of his former pupils in the in the 20th century. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of musical notation.
