Trio for Flute, Oboe and Piano

Press Notices

“A work which impresses immediately by reason of the brilliance and fluency of the writing, and its perfect identification with the medium. There are three movements, Allegro, Lento con moto and Scherzo; the whole taking thirteen minutes, approximately in performance.” - Musical Opinion, London, March 1952.

“John Addison’s charming and vivacious work, lasting thirteen minutes, can be confidently recommended. Great fluency and continuity of thought are combined with an harmonic and rhythmic piquancy well suited to the light-weight instrumental combination. The general similarity of flute and oboe parts - treated as a group contrasted with the piano - precludes the exploitation of individual characteristics of either instrument, apart from the general lightness of effect and the obvious tonal contrasts, but full scope is given for the composer’s very expert manipulation of the musical material in true chamber style. Skilful playing is required.” - Music and Letters, London, September 1952
