Horn, Oboe, and Piano Trios in Late 19th Century

This lecture recital will include performances of Romance, Op. 43 by Adolphe Blanc (1828-1885), movements 3 and 4 of Trio Op. 88 by Carl Reinecke (1824-1910), and movements 1 and 2 of Trio Op. 61 by Heinrich Herzogenberg (1843-1900). Oboe and horn will be performed on 19th century instruments, with particular emphasis on continued use of hand horn in France, as well as cor-a-pistons and rotary valve horns derived from waldhorn traditions. Performance and discussion will consider the wide variety of timbres and stylistic interpretations based on instruments within prevailing style.
