Trio for clarinet, violin, and piano played by Phil Cardew (clarinet); Edward Silverman (violin); Benjamin Frankel (piano)
Aram Khachaturyan was bom at Tiflis in 1904, but did not study music until comparatively late. In 1923 when he went to Moscow to become a student he had no theoretical knowledge at all and little or no listening experience even of the classical repertoire. However, within three or four years he had mastered the difficulties of composition enough to write a ' Dance ' for violin and piano and a ' Poem ' for piano that were published by the Armenian State Publishing Department. Then after five years at the Moscow Conservatoire he embarked upon a distinguished career as a composer. His Tno for' clarinet, violin, and piano was composed in 1932, when he was still a student at the Conservatoire
