When some of them came to the United States they Anglicized their name to read Olevsky or Olefsky. In order to keep peace among cousins Julian and Paul we have agreed to employ all three spellings on this album, hence the apparent inconsistencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the two dozen chamber works that Brahms left us, five are trios: three for the standard combination of violin, cello and piano, and one each for violin, horn, piano and clarinet, cello, piano. These works cover almost all of his creative life, from the First Trio in B, which was his first published chamber composition, to the late Clarinet Trio from 1891, a work that joins the following Clarinet Quintet and Clarinet Sonatas in a final outpouring of autumnal masterpieces. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf all major composers it is perhaps Brahms who reveals fewest evolutionary processes in his style over the course of his career. This does not mean that he never grew artistically. Rather, it suggests that his musical language was more or less complete in his early stage, his development manifested itself more in refinement and control of material than in actual change in style. Also, such evenness of output results in part from the composer's strong sense of self-criticism, which prevented any but the most carefully considered works from reaching the public. In this regard we know that about three times as many compositions were actually written than eventually saw publication. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Musical Heritage Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49308986835252,"sku":"885288636727","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/5740\/5748\/files\/artworkd7ceed7f-390e-4384-89e2-e1bddc17bb2e.jpg?v=1790969159","url":"https:\/\/themusicalheritagesociety.com\/products\/brahms-four-piano-trios","provider":"The Musical Heritage Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
