About
Although closeness to Schumann can clearly be heard in the early Piano Trio, op.38, of 1853, it is in every way a thoroughly independent composition both melodically and harmonically and was an important milestone for the succeeding generation of composers. In his two Serenades, op.126, composed twenty years after the First Piano Trio, great ambition is in evidence, despite the light tone of these works: the texture is more relaxed than it was in the First Piano Trio, and the thematic material – or, more precisely, the motivic material – is concise and forms the core for rich elaboration.
The Piano Trio no.2, op.230, composed twenty years after the two Serenades and no fewer than forty-two years after the First Piano Trio, places considerable demands on the interpreter, not only in the composition’s structural and motivic aspects but also purely technically in the field of precision ensemble playing. The beautiful harmonic features of the work are enormous, and the tight contrapuntal structure reveals a composer most highly schooled in convention as well as powers of musical invention and ambition beyond the reach of a good many of his younger contemporaries.
The original conclusion is formed by Reinecke’s piano trio version of Beethoven’s Triple Concerto, op.56. While his arrangement preserves the orchestral breadth, it simultaneously brings out the chamber components of the original work.
