Trio d'anches

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A trio d'anches (French: " reed - trio ") is an ensemble of oboe , clarinet and bassoon . The term goes back to the bassoonist Fernand Oubradous and his " Trio d'anches de Paris ", which established the line-up in Paris from 1920 together with the " Trio René Daraux ". In addition to the trio of flute , clarinet and bassoon, the Trio d'anches is the most important chamber music ensemble for three woodwinds.

Historical occupations

In a broader sense, the term refers to all historical trio instrumentations for three reed instruments:

  • 2 oboes and bassoon: the “trio”, which was juxtaposed with the strings in many orchestral suites of the baroque era and took over solo movements; v. a. Alternative movements (e.g. after minuet  1, which is played by the entire orchestra, minuet 2 only played by the "trio", followed by a repetition of menu 1 - hence the name trio for the middle movement of a minuet in later times ) . The best-known example is the 1st orchestral suite by Johann Sebastian Bach .
  • A trio of clarinet instruments: the five Divertimenti KV 439 b by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are assigned to two clarinets and bassoon in the first edition published after Mozart's death. Maybe they were originally but three basset horns determined
  • 2 Oboes and English horn : The Trios op. 87 and WoO  28 by Ludwig van Beethoven .

The modern trio d'anches

The line-up of oboe, clarinet and bassoon did not spread until the 20th century. Common is the use of special instruments (such as English horn held oboe, Bassetthorn or bass clarinet instead clarinet), also known as switching between main instrument and special instrument during the play.
