Trio

For the music festival at the 'Staatliche Bildungsanstalt' in Plön on 20 June 1932, Paul Hindemith (1895–1963) composed his 'Plöner Musiktag'. The work consists of 'Morgenmusik', 'Tafelmusik', a cantata and a multi-sectional 'Abendkonzert'. The last part also comprises 'Trio for Recorders' written for recorders in A1 D1 D1 which, according to Hindemith, should be transposed to other temperaments. The Schott edition OFB 208 published in 2008 in a transposed version is scored for descant and two treble recorders (or treble recorder and tenor recorder). Our new edition, however, is oriented towards a Baroque sound ideal and has been set for further instrumentation possibilities: Baroque recorders in F1 C1 C1 or Renaissance recorders in G1 (F1) C1 C1 – for treble recorder and two tenor recorders.
