As a child suffering from Blattern&#8217;s disease and blindness, he made an international career as a pianist and organist and also became famous as a teacher &#8211; his students included Arnold Sch\u00f6nberg, Julius Bittner, Alma Schindler and Paul Wittgenstein &#8211; and composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TRIS is now recording two of his late chamber music works for CD: we have just completed the Trio for piano, clarinet and cello from 1917, the Cello Sonata (1918) will follow soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SAM_4263-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-448\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SAM_4263-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SAM_4263-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SAM_4263-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SAM_4263-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SAM_4263-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption><em>At the studio&#8230;<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Both works are previously unpublished and represent a small music historical sensation. They are dedicated to Labor&#8217;s pupil Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm as a soldier in World War I and yet continued his career as a pianist. The piano part is thus &#8211; although not clearly designated as such &#8211; composed for the left hand. So both works form the prelude to a series of piano compositions for the left hand which were dedicated to Paul Wittgenstein by Ravel, Hindemith, Britten, Richard Strauss and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from this historical peculiarity, both pieces are also simply wonderful late romantic chamber music, which we play with great pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, a monument for Josef Labor is located in a very prominent place and yet almost unnoticed right in front of the Konzerthaus in Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/josef_labor-img_4401-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203\" width=\"585\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/josef_labor-img_4401-01.jpg 505w, https:\/\/www.ensemble-tris.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/josef_labor-img_4401-01-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><figcaption><em>Lothringerstrasse 20, 1030 Vienna<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are using the Covid-19-related concertless time for a CD project with chamber music by Josef Labor.
