Maconchy: Piccola Musica (Score)

Piccola Musica is written for string trio and consists of five short movements, independent of each other, apart from the ?tie-up? between numbers I and V. The texture is in the main contrapuntal, though less consistently so than in Maconchy Quartets, and the mood is more relaxed.The five ?piccoli movimenti? are: I Allegro moderato, II Andante, III Moderato, IV Poco lento, V Allegro moderato- meno mosso-allegro moderato: in its end is its beginning.
