The Swedish composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell was long viewed as an insider tip among clarinettists- in the meantime, his concertos have found their way to the concert stage.

For Violin, Viola and Piano (Reduced from the orchestra version). Britten was so remarkably prolific as a young composer that many of the works from his teens were put aside to await revision or completion as he rushed on to the next piece.

It is also believed that the composer invested so much of himself in it: his ailing health, the social isolation brought about by his deafness and the suicide attempt of his nephew Karl. In addition it…
