Trio for Piano, clarinet and viola.

Hiiiii. I've been working on a piece i will submit for my access test. I used and old piece and wrote it for a trio ensemble.

Hey Samuel,

The register and colour of thIs piece is interesting, as it features more for the alto range of the melody with the viola and the chalumeau and clarion of the clarinet. This makes it very Brahmsian for me with also the rhythm and flow! It’s like a love in a more restrained manner rather saying “I love you!”. Maybe you can add the high notes of viola and clarinet later on. And Piano can be featured in later passages! 
 

For me the A minor theme in b.33 is particularly lovely after a warmer A major section. The modulation to D major and ending on F sharp minor is good too.

How will you end this piece for the test? Back to tonic, or add a contrasting section and feature Piano?

Thx for sharing!

Hi Henry, thanks for replying!

I thought that i should further explore tonalities (maybe C#) and then go back to tonic and the main theme. After that, a more brahm-like coda.
