About Trio for horn, violin, and piano

The Trio for horn, violin, and piano is a chamber music work by the Australian composer Don Banks, composed in 1962. The Horn Trio was commissioned by the Edinburgh Festival, and was written especially for hornist Barry Tuckwell, violinist Brenton Langbein, and pianist Maureen Jones, in part because they were all Australians, like the composer. Tuckwell's virtuosity was particularly important in stimulating the conception of this trio, as well as the Horn Concerto that Banks composed for Tuckwell three years later.
