Trio "To the Memory of a Great Artist"

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Lubov Timofeyeva & Maxim Fedotov & Kyrill Rodin

The Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50, "To the Memory of a Great Artist" is a chamber work by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1882. The work exemplifies Romantic chamber music with sweeping melodies, brooding harmonies and tightly woven piano, violin and cello textures, written as a sombre commemoration following the death of a fellow musician and representing a mature, late-period contribution to Tchaikovsky's instrumental oeuvre.
First released: 1990
