Piano Trios
Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & Anton Stepanovich Arensky & Vovka Ashkenazy & Richard Stamper & Christine Jackson
Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50 is a piano trio composition by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, completed in 1882. The work employs late-Romantic harmonies, expansive lyrical themes and strong dramatic contrasts across its movements, and it occupies a notable place in Tchaikovsky's late output as a memorial chamber piece written in the aftermath of personal loss.
