Piano Trio No. 1 (Schumann)
The Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 63, by Robert Schumann was written in 1847. It has four movements:
- Mit Energie und Leidenschaft
- Lebhaft, doch nicht zu rasch
- Langsam, mit inniger Empfindung
- Mit Feuer
The first piano trio is in an intensely romantic style, and is the most celebrated of Schumann's trios in the modern repertoire.[1] The opening movement begins with a surging theme that is heard in counterpoint initially between the piano's bass and the violin; the scherzo's driving dotted rhythm shares its smoothly ascending contour with the flowing trio section.[2] The third movement features a duet between violin and cello, and moves without pause to the heroic tonic-major finale.[3]
