Description
Peter Emil Gohr's oeuvre mainly consists of songs (often based on German poetry), folksong arrangements for various instruments and instrument combinations, (dance) music for piano solo, piano four hands and two pianos, in addition to some ensemble music. in 1885, he wrote a paraphrase on an old German Christmas carol, for violin, cello and piano. The trio in F Major for the same instrumentation is not dated, which makes it hard to situate it within the rest of the oeuvre. It is a relatively "serious" and abstract composition among lighter and often programmatic works. It is fairly classical, and has an uncomplicated harmonic and melodic idiom. The trio was privately printed by the composer in Antwerp and ‘most friendly dedicated' to his friend Jules Roelants, cellist.
The work follows the standard format of a classical sonata, except for the third movement, which is an intermezzo in waltz form where a scherzo and trio would be expected. The four movements are provided with programmatic captions. The initial Allegro suggests the awakening of spring (‘Wieder Erwachen des Frühlings'), while the second movement, Andante molto cantabile, represents a love scene (‘Liebesscene'). The Intermezzo, Tempo di Valse (Moderato), evokes a dance of the grandparents (‘Tanz der Groβeltern'), and the final movement, Finale, Allegro apassionato is entitled ‘Aufschwung and Triumph': upswing and victory.
Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
