Due to members’ traveling, our Ensemble now have 2 violinists, 3 cellists and 1 pianist for the next few months. We decided to practice songs of piano trios. Marie and Aileen collected their piano trio scores and we selected our favorite songs:
- “Winter — 2nd Movement” from Vivaldi’s Four Season
- 千の風になって(Thousand Winds)
- 思想起 “Reflections”
- Meditation from “Thais”
- Mozart Piano Trio No. 1 (Divertimento), K. 254 in B-flat Major, 2nd movement
- “Time to Say Goodbye” byLucio Quarantotto, Francesco Sartori and Frank Peterson, arranged by Keiko Yamaguchi
Many years ago, John, Peter, Esther and I had practice Beethoven Piano Trio Op. 11 in Bb major — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0EQkcuNp7k and we will try again this time.
We also selected a few Classical pieces for practices in the future:
- Haydn Piano Trio No. 39 in G major, Hoboken XV: 25 (“Gypsy”)
- Mozart Flute Quartet No.1, 1st movement, Arr.Keiko Yamaguchi
- Schubert, Trio op 100 – Andante con Moto
