Composer Albert Roussel described Fauré's mature musical language as pointing "the way towards marvellous musical horizons overflowing with freshness and light," without noise or fuss.

Composition History

Fauré's only Piano Trio, Op. 120, was composed in 1922-23, shortly before his death, with the central movement written at his favorite resort Annecy-le-Vieux.

Composition History

Brahms composed his Piano Trio No.1 Op.8 in January 1854 when he was only 20, and it is notable for being his only composition existing in two distinct published versions.

Composition History

Schubert's Adagio in E flat major for piano trio, D897, known as 'Notturno' (a title added by the publisher in 1845), may have originally been intended as the slow movement for his Piano Trio in B flat major.

Notable Performances

The premiere of Fauré's Piano Trio was given in May 1923 to celebrate his 75th birthday, and a month later it was performed by the renowned trio of Cortot, Thibaud, and Casals.

Compositional Technique

Brahms's Piano Trio No.1 Op.8 is unusual for beginning in a major key (B major) and ending in the tonic minor, a rare feature for an extended work.
