Bridge, Frank - Phantasy for Violin, Viola, Cello, and Piano - Lauren Publications Review

Frank Bridge composed the Phantasy Piano Quartet in 1910, in the style of a 16th century fancy'. Consisting of one movement, the Phantasy is something of an entire four movement piano quartet compressed into 12 minutes and played straight through. Stylistically, Bridge's work could be described as Brahmsian with an impressionistic air. The piece is justifiably regarded as one of Bridge's best compositions, and should not be overlooked. For Violin, Viola, Cello, and Piano. Published by Lauren Publications. Difficulty: A5 (Apprentice Rating) Click here to learn more about the Apprentice and ASTA Sheet Music Difficulty Ratings.

Bax, Arnold - Trio in One Movement, Op 4 - Violin, Viola, and Piano - Lauren Publications

Bax, Arnold - Trio in One Movement, Op 4 - Violin, Viola, and Piano - Lauren Publications Review

Composed on the verge of two musical periods, the 1906 Trio in One Movement, Op. 4 is exemplary of Sir Arnold Bax's romantic, yet forward-facing style.  Bax was a poet as well as a composer, and had an affinity for sensuality in word and music.  This trio is no exception, with plenty of color and texture to go around. This edition is a reprint of the 1907 Chester Edition.  Published by Lauren Publications. Difficulty: A5
