Despite the limited usefulness of the trios, Haydn never allowed the high standard of musical inventiveness to fall. There are three movements, Adagio, Allegro & Menuetto & Trio which have been arranged for 2 Bb clarinets and bassoon. The bassoon part can be played on a cello. Players of intermediate standard and above will enjoy this piece.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Trio Bassoon,Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.956592 Composed by Johann Strauss Jr. Arranged by Catriona Melville-Mason.

The Austrian Johann Strauss II (1825 – 1899) was a prolific composer of light music, particularly dance tunes such as waltzes, polkas and quadrilles.  His father (also Johann) was determined that his children should not follow him into the ‘music business’, so young Johann Jr studied the violin in secret.  He was only able to follow his musical ambitions once his parents had separated and, even then, had to deal with opposition from his father. Because of the success of his compositions, Johann Strauss II is often given credit for the popularity of the waltz in 19th Century Vienna.  He was known to his contemporaries as ‘The Waltz King’.  This piece is taken from his Lockvogel Waltzer, Op. 118.
