Books by The late Basil (Former Emeritus Professor of Music Smallman

This book examines two notable forms of chamber music involving piano and strings. Smallman surveys the development of these genres from their origins in the mid-eighteenth century to the present day.

Devoted solely to a study of the piano trio genre, this volume reviews the development of the trio in different countries against the background of general musical history, showing how it has reflected changes in style and technique from the 18th century to the present day.
