Clarinet-viola-piano trio

Clarinet-viola-piano trio

A clarinet-viola-piano trio is a chamber musical ensemble made up of one clarinet, one viola, and one piano, or the name of a piece written for such a group.

This combination differs from the classical Piano trio combination (piano, violin and violoncello) by the fact that the viola and the clarinet have roughly the same range, and thus are distinguished by timbre rather than register. This combination of timbres did inspire several major composers such as Mozart and Schumann and a few great pieces may be found in this small repertoire.

The repertoire for such a formation includes:

  • The Kegelstatt Trio KV 498 by W-A. Mozart
