The trio for violin, clarinet and piano is possibly the chamber ensemble obtaining the greatest timbral variety with the minimum effort. Three very different instrument are invited to cooperate with each other; three instruments with different origins, completely different timbres and techniques. The violin is probably the oldest of the three, since it conquered its definitive form already in the Baroque era, even though important changes continued to be made in the following century in order to increase its volume and to enable new virtuoso styles. Both the clarinet and the piano, instead, derive from extremely ancient prototypes, but have found their definitive shape at a much later date. The true ascent of these two instruments took place only in the eighteenth century, and they reached the full potential of their virtuoso qualities in the nineteenth century.
