@William Ash just because you write something doesn’t mean you can remember the parts to it. He probably has performed this 50+ times and that’s how he remembers it, but writing it helps.
We had this album on cassette and my daughters stretched it out from playing so often. It was great to see the arrangement of the parts that seemed to mix into one sound on the album. He'd sell a ton of a reprint of that album.
Which of Meyer's string trios is this? I think he's composed at least three of them, and the second one (which was only performed a single time, at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival in 1987) is the best one, in my opinion. I heard it on NPR at that time, and it was never released.
This performance was when myself (the violinist) and Mindy (the cellist) were undergraduate students at the Colburn conservatory. It’s normal to use music for a chamber music performance like this; it’s extraordinary that Edgar Meyer played it memorized!
@@stavani1 he’s probably played this piece 50 times. A good friend of mine took lessons from him at Vanderbilt. He was also his PA for a few semesters.
Great piece, deserves more performances.
I just have to point how epic it is that Edgar is playing from memory. Congrats on a beautiful performance!
This is just timeless music! Beautiful composition!

Edgar thinks everything out. A colleague was amazed as he watched him practice working out every detail of every note in every measure.
Wow I have no words..... Thank you for all your time and sacrifice to give the world such amazing music....
Stunning. Much respect and gratitude to the musicians for gifting such beauty to the world
美し過ぎて、言葉がありません
。エドガーは、昔から好きで、そのわけは、カントリー、ジャズ、クラシックその他、なんでもこなせる人で、しかも、探求し続けけているところにも、魅力を感じます！
Beautiful playing. Going to see Edgar Meyer tonight. Can't wait.
Wow! What a thrill to see gifted, focused players giving it their best. Thank you for posting this.
That 4th movement! Holy smokes!

I am not aware of any other trios he wrote.
@@stavani1 He has written at least three string trios, which are numbered "No. 1," "No. 2," and "No. 3." In my opinion, No. 2 is by far the best.
This is the one on the Dreams of Flight album, if that helps.
Fanastic
Is it possible to buy the music?
Felix Schilling unfortunately no, not to my knowledge
Movements 2-4 are included on the record "Dreams of Flight" which is out of print but you can find it used online
Maybe the greatest bassist of the 21st/20th century. Karr rivals him for sure though. Definitely his playing speaks to me the most.
No music stand needed for Edgar. So these are students?
