Aaron Copland

Two Threnodies for Flute and String Trio

These two beautiful pieces, written in 1971, are in a reflective mood. No 2 is written for the alto flute which further enhances the nostalgic quality of the music.

W A Mozart

Flute Quartet No 1 in D (K285)

This is the most celebrated of Mozart's four flute quartets and is particularly renowned for its Adagio in which the strings accompany the flute, playing pizzicato throughout the entire movement.

Ernst von Dohnányi

Serenade for String Trio (Opus 10)

Although Hungarian composer Dohn�nyi wrote this trio in 1902, it is firmly rooted in the 19th Century Romantic tradition of Brahms. The work is full of folk melodies and the writing full and rich, making the three instruments sound like a much larger ensemble.
