One of the more popular forms of chamber music is the piano trio. It consists of a piano, violin and cello. Brahms, Beethoven, Schubert. Schuman, Mendelssohn, Saint Seans and Dvorak wrote some of the more famous ones.
Yoyo Ma, Emanuel Ax and Leonaidis Kovakos just released a CD of the Brahms Piano Trios. I have a Cd of Stern, Casals and Hess playing the first Brahms trio which was recorded in 1952. There was a commercial in 1996 for a local cell phone company in St. Louis which used the second movement of Schuber's second Piano Trio. I forget who the commercial was for. Brahms also wrote a trio for piano, violin and horn (opus#620 and one for piano, cello and clarinet (opus #114) which are also pupular

The U2 concert has been canceled. so has the Harry Potter concert at the SLSO. I hope things get better here in Saint Louis.
I have noticed more African Americans ion south and west county in recent years which means that Saint Louis is becoming less segregated. Violence does nothing except turn people off about your cause. It looks like the SLSO is discontinuing the gypsy caravan after many years. I had helped with it but had never been to the actual event.
Johaness Brahms, Pablo De Sarasate and Bella Bartok among others used gypsy music in their writings. Gypseys or Roma are a semi nomadic peoplde who have been in Europe since the late middle ages. They are thought to come from India. Their native language is telated to some languages spoken in India |
