Adrian Wehlte Trio classique The instrumentation "two flutes and cello" is a very charming instrumentation for chamber music. On the one hand the sound is beautiful; on the other hand the combination of instruments is balanced. As it was so famous, J. Haydn, C. Stamnitz, F. A. Hoffmeister, Joh. Chr. Bach, C. F. Abel, F. Devienne (and more) were composing trio music pieces for this instrumentation at the end of the 18th century. The "Trio classique", which is presented here, was composed in 1981. It should tie on the golden age of the above-mentioned instrumentation for chamber music. The composition is mostly tonal and it draws its liveliness from a rhythmical and polyphonic movement-structure. |

A very special work with a formidable combination of tone colors. The autograph of this concerto is kept in the university library in Darmstadt. Graupner transposed each part of the flute d'amore in A and the oboe d'amore in A pitch up a minor third. Here the parts of the d'amore-instruments are also transposed. A version with today usual instruments in C (flute, oboe, viola) is sounding as notated. In the autograph the figured bass is without numbers. The realization of the figured bass can be improvised by the harpsichord player. |
