Kammermusik-Lunchkonzert 16. Nov 2023

For centuries, chamber music was dominated by the string-piano combination. Only composers like Francis Poulenc experimented with trio combinations for winds and piano – and with the variety of colours they make possible. With his Trio for oboe, bassoon and piano of 1926, Poulenc paved the way for this combination. In the following decades, a handful of other works with the same instrumentation were written, such as those by Jean Françaix, Peter Hope and Daniel Schnyder.
