François Devienne, who was born on the 31st of January 1759 in Joinville (Haute Marne) and died on the 6th of September 1803 in Charenton near Paris, was a doubly gifted musician: not only a much admired flute teacher at the Institut national de musique, but from 1789 on first bassoonist at the Paris Opera as well.
His epochmaking “Méthode de la Flûte” (1795) has remained valid until today. His dramatic oeuvre
(operas, chansons, romances for voice) is offset by 6 concertante symphonies and 12 published concertos for flute, as well as two for bassoon. At all times ideally suited to the instruments, Devienne’s compositions are remarkable for their consummate ease, charm and unflagging harmonic and melodic invention.
His chamber music, especially, reveals the instruments soul, particularly where his own instruments – flute and bassoon – are concerned, and an increasingly varied number of new editions should soon give it the place it deserves in the repertoire.
The first print of these Trios is almost faultless, except for missing octavation signs and accidentals reaching beyond the bar. Added signs of articulation and dynamics are not always present in all voices, and a few adjustments were necessary. While the clarinets of Trios I and II are written “en Ut” in the source, Trio III is for clarinets in B flat. In this new edition we have set the parts of Trios I and II for clarinets in B flat.
