Piano Trios opp 49 & 66

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Grieg Trio

Piano Trios Opp. 49 and 66 are a pair of piano trio compositions by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1839 and 1845 respectively. Rooted in the early Romantic idiom, they blend classical forms with Mendelssohn's characteristic melodic lyricism, energetic scherzo writing and a technically demanding piano part, illustrating his mature chamber-music style and their importance within the nineteenth-century piano trio repertoire.
