piano trio

Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio in G minor, op. 17, is considered one of her greatest masterpieces and her most ambitious, large-scale work since the Piano Concerto she wrote as a teenager.

Robust chords from piano, violin and cello lift the curtain on Dvořák’s Piano Trio in G minor, a dramatic introduction before first the piano, then the violin give us the movement’s winding first theme. The dramatic chords return as the movement intensifies.
