Piano Trios, op. 49 & op. 66

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Trio con Brio Copenhagen

Piano Trios, Op. 49 & Op. 66 is a set of piano trios by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1839 and 1845. They showcase Mendelssohn's Romantic chamber style—transparent textures, lyrical melody and classical formal clarity combined with energetic scherzo writing—and belong to his mature output, where they occupy an important place in the 19th-century piano-trio repertoire.
