Piano Trios nos. 1 & 2
Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Gould Piano Trio
Piano Trios nos. 1 & 2 are a set of two piano trios by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1839 and 1845. These Romantic-era chamber works combine lyrical, songlike melodies with classical forms, transparent textures and energetic scherzo passages, and they occupy a central position in Mendelssohn's chamber output, illustrating developments in his mature style and in 19th-century chamber repertoire.
