Rising to the occasion<\/a>
When I think of a violin and cello duo, I suppose my first thought is of Brahms\u2019s Double Concerto in A minor, his final orchestral work, composed in 1887. For whilst the violin\/cello duo does have its own repertoire, with no need for an orchestra, it\u2019s not as large as one might expect \u2026 read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness<\/a>
I always think of the clarinet as an autumnal instrument. It reminds me of that wonderful late poem by John Keats, To Autumn<\/em>, written towards the end of his life, with its opening lines \u201cSeason of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun\u201d<\/em> \u2026 read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two\u2019s company, three\u2019s a crowd<\/a>
I grew up with two older brothers; one played the violin, the other viola and violin, and they liked to busk! They\u2019d head off in the summer with their instruments, hitch-hiking round Europe and busking in towns and cities \u2026. read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If music be the food of love, play on<\/a>
Musical gifts, from composers to their loved ones, are a bit of a thing. Grieg, Strauss, Mahler and Schumann all created them, as did Elgar whose \u201cSalut d\u2019Amour\u201d<\/em> was given as an engagement present for his wife Alice …. read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French and the Flute<\/a>
The word \u2018flute<\/em>\u2019 probably started as the Latin verb \u2018flare<\/em>\u2019 meaning \u2018to blow\u2019, before entering the Old Proven\u00e7al language as \u2018fla\u00fct<\/em>\u2019 and subsequently Old French as \u2018fle\u00fcte<\/em>\u2019 or \u2018flahute<\/em>\u2019. Early English spellings include \u2018floute<\/em>\u2019 and \u2018flowte<\/em>\u2019 …. read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural bedfellows – voice and violin<\/a>
It is often said that the cello is the instrument best able to imitate the human voice. And that the piano or guitar are the instruments best suited to accompany the voice. But which instrument is best able to converse with the voice? …. read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our instruments is missing!<\/a>
There are three different types of string trio. You can have two violins and a viola, or two violins and a cello, or a violin, viola and cello. Now, a cynic might say that a string trio sounds like a string quartet with one of its players missing …. read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hidden away for 90 years! <\/a>
\u201cThe clarinet is by far the finest woodwind instrument\u201d. Now, there\u2019s a controversial statement, if ever there was one! It\u2019s one I\u2019m sure the founder of Ensemble Cymru, clarinettist Peryn Clement-Evans, might entirely agree with! …. read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Invention of the Reed Trio <\/a>
After the First World War, when Margaret and Gwendoline Davies were back from France and were busy setting up Gregynog Hall as a flourishing centre for the performing arts… read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
