Piano Trios

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Trio Wanderer

Piano Trios are a pair of chamber works by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1839 and 1845. These Romantic-era pieces combine Classical formal clarity with lyrical melodies, contrapuntal textures and virtuosic piano writing, marking a mature phase in Mendelssohn's chamber music and contributing to the 19th-century development of the piano trio repertoire.
