Piano Trios

on: October 21, 2006, 07:24:26 PM

Hi, could anyone recommend me some really beautiful and sad piano trios?

Some piano trios that I like are:

Mendelssohn - Piano Trio No. 1 in d-minor, Op. 49
Saint-Saens - Piano Trio No. 2 in e-minor, Op. 92

Thanks,

-Rhia

Well for despair, you can't go past the Tchaik! especially when the theme come's back at the end!
You need 6 months at least to learn both of those.

Tchaikovsky Trio. It's one of the most melancholic pieces I've ever heard.

Schumann´s Op 110-1 in G minor

Beethoven´s Op 1-3 in C minor is the best by far. The second movement is so beautiful ¡¡

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Arensky no. 2 in D minor has an extreme sadness to it.

The Ravel is always nice. The passacaglia especially is quite sad.

Stanford's Trio No. 2 in G minor has a lovely Andante and Schubert's Trio in B-flat, D. 898 has a wistful, nostalgic Andante, too. I'm also partial to Taneyev's Trio in D major. Another touching Andante.
