Mozart was the first to combine the clarinet, the viola and the piano in a trio resulting in a work which flows with inspiration and beauty of melody and form. The special tim­bres of the clarinet and the viola give the music an espe­cially inti­mate and gen­tle char­ac­ter. Bruch’s magnificent composition for the same instrument combination is in essence a set of character pieces abounding with strong emotions: gloom, rhapsodic exaltation, restlessness and agitation, ardour and introverted lyricism.
