Trio Variations is written for a smaller ensemble within a wind quintet- horn, clarinet, and bassoon. Because of this, it works well for wind quintet's that want to feature different members of the group within a larger performance or dedicated musicians that can't come up with a full wind quintet. It's opening theme is a jaunty tune full of energy and over the course of several variations, the melody develops and explores new emotions and tonalities. It covers many styles with many solo moments for each instrument and fluctuates between homophonic and imitative writing. The difficulty of this piece is well suited for college or professional ensembles if done in full, but also works for high school students if a movement or two is removed, which I fully support doing.
The recording is mostly from the premiere, and one movement was cut due to a short rehearsal period. That movement has been replaced by a MIDI/audio replication in this recording.
