PIANO TRIO NO. 2 FOR VIOLIN, CELLO, AND PIANO
Keywords:
Trio, Violin, Cello, Piano, Twelve-Tone RowAbstract
The composition Piano Trio No. 2, written for violin, cello, and piano, has a duration of approximately 7 minutes and 30 seconds. It employs the twelve-tone row technique based on the principles of twelve-tone music. The twelve-tone row is constructed from the trichord C, C#, E [0, 1, 4], which forms the prime set (014) and is transformed through inversion, retrograde, and retrograde-inversion to create the tone row P-0 in the form: 0 1 4 9 8 5 6 3 2 7 T E. Additionally, the composition incorporates structures of major and minor triads, as well as 4th and 5th relationships, within the tone row. The compositional techniques include overlapping 1-2 pitch classes between consecutive tone rows and hexachordal combinatorial relationships. However, the composer deviates from traditional atonal music by frequently utilizing pitch-class repetitions, pedal notes, and repeated pitch-class sets in the manner of an ostinato to establish a sense of tonal center. Thus, this composition represents a blend of the twelve-tone row technique and neo-tonal music.
