HAYDN  Divertimento a tré in Eb Major Hob. IV:5 • 1767
  • musicologist Karl Geiringer noted of this trio that "the horn has some
really interesting technical problems to master, and occasionally the
instrument's role as the ardent singer of Romanticism is foreshadowed" ~
written for Printser, a horn virtuoso in the court orchestra at Esterházy

Georg-Friedrich FUCHS  Duo for clarinet and horn Op. 5 • 1793
  • Haydn and Christian Cannabich taught composition to the German-born French clarinettist, who became the highest-ranking musician in the Garde
Nationale the year he wrote this duo

MOZART  Piano Trio in C Major K. 548 • 1788
  • composed in the same period as his last 3 symphonies at the peak of his creativity, it anticipates the "Jupiter" Symphony

Robert KAHN  Serenade in F Minor Op. 72 • 1923
  • radiates with the influence of Brahms whom he met in 1887 ~ for piano,
clarinet and cello

Arnold SCHOENBERG  Verklärte Nacht "Transfigured Night" Op. 4
1899
  • dense, lush Romanticism from the Modernist composer before he abandoned tonality, in a superb transcription for piano trio done in 1932 by his pupil Edward Steuermann ~ based on a poem of Richard Dehmel, the programmatic music captures the despair, angst, love, nobility and radiance of the story of a couple in love walking through the woods on a moonlit night, the woman's confession that she is bearing the child of another man she never loved, and the man's acceptance of both woman and unborn child as his own, transforming all from darkness to light
