The conjecture, but there is some evidence that concerto that he composed in 1803 for he had in mind as his pianist his well-known three solo instruments and orchestra pupil and patron, Archduke Rudolf of stands apart for several reasons.

Department of ZH t/S fC The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date . DE-6 (2788) Abstract Bach's Concerto for Keyboard, Flute, and Violin with Orchestra in A minor, BWV 1044, is a very interesting and unprecedented case of Bach reworking pre-existing keyboard works into three concerto movements. There are several examples of Bach carrying out the reverse process with his keyboard arrangements of Vivaldi, and other composers' concertos, but the reworking of the Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 894, into the outer movements of BWV 1044, and the second movement of the Organ Sonata in F major, BWV 527, into the middle movement, appears to be unique among Bach's compositional activity.

It has been disparaged by scholars, critics, and performers, and it is in need of a re-evaluation. This paper will begin that re-evaluation. It will show the historical origins of the piece, investigate the criticism, and provide a defense. The bulk of the paper will focus on a descriptive analysis of the first movement, objectively demonstrating its quality. It will also discuss some matters of interpretive choice in performance. This thesis will show that, contrary to prevailing views, the Triple Concerto is a unique and significant masterpiece in Beethoven's output.

Hailed by The New Yorker as “...the most remarkable virtuoso in the relatively un-chronicled history of his instrument”, Mr. Meyer’s unparalleled technique and musicianship in combination with his gift for composition have brought him to the fore, where he is appreciated by a vast, varied audience. His uniqueness in the field was recognized by a MacArthur Award in 2002.

In 2006, he released a self-titled solo recording on which he wrote and recorded all of the music, incorporating piano, guitar, mandolin, dobro, banjo, gamba, and double bass. In 2007, recognizing his wide-ranging recording achievements, Sony/BMG released a compilation of “The Best of Edgar Meyer”. In 2011 Mr. Meyer joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma, mandolinist Chris Thile, and fiddler Stuart Duncan for the Sony Masterworks recording “The Goat Rodeo Sessions” which was awarded the 2012 Grammy® Award for Best Folk Album. As a composer, Mr. Meyer has carved out a remarkable and unique niche in the musical world.

Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola, Beethoven’s Triple Concerto for piano, violin and cello, and then Brahms’s Double Concerto for violin and cello would be the most impressive exceptions to that rule. Itzhak Perlman, who has recorded all three of these works, laid down early versions of the Brahms (1979, see volume 22) and the Mozart (DG, 1982), but waited far longer to commit his own interpretation of the Beethoven to disc. The score, which provided aristocratic ensembles in imperial Vienna with a model illustrating the possibilities offered by the piano trio, has often suffered because of its formal ambiguities — is it a triple concerto or a concerto for piano trio with orchestra? This no doubt explains why it has been performed both by established chamber formations (such as the Beaux Arts, Stern–Istomin–Rose and Oistrakh trios), and by ad hoc groupings of individual soloists (for example, Schneiderhan, Anda and Fournier; Szeryng, Arrau and Starker; and even Oistrakh, Richter and Rostropovich).

I wanted to attempt a larger form and language that is slightly more complex than I have used in shorter pieces or that I could improvise. Although I have not finished this piece, there is enough written to be able to present a working version. This current version has opening and closing movements that are complete for the moment. In between them there will be one or two movements, yet to be written, that may or may not include the second movement that I will use tonight, and the outer movements may end up modified somewhat in reaction to whatever happens with the middle movements or just to correct existing flaws.
