A clarinetâcelloâpiano trio is a
clarinet trio made up of one
clarinet, one
cello, and one
piano, or the name of a piece written for such a group.
This formation is similar to the classical
piano trio except that the violin is replaced by the clarinet. The heterogeneity of timbre between clarinet and cello prevents their use as a block against the piano, but it offers many other musical possibilities.
Long-lived trios (such as the Trio Montecino) are very rare, but the literature is performed by subsets of Pierrot lunaire and Quartet for the End of Time ensembles, such as
Tashi, as well as by ad hoc groups.
Repertoire
The original repertoire for clarinet, cello and piano (by name of composer with date & publisher where known) includes:
Four Trio Miniatures (1901) version of piano Trio in A minor Op. 17 Op. 18, No.3, 6, & 7 originally for piano solo and Op. 24, No.2 for piano four hands.
In addition to this original repertoire, one can pick some pieces for
clarinet-viola-piano trio or
clarinet-violin-piano trio and replace the viola (violin) by the cello, or replace the violin by the clarinet in a classical
Piano trio; cases where the composer has foreseen this possibility are listed above. Other substitutions are possible:
