Rachmaninoff Trio Elegiaque no. 1
on: November 25, 2006, 12:44:13 PM
I've teamed up with a violinist and a cellist to form a piano trio, we're working on some Haydn and would like to do something bigger. Do you have any experience with the Rach trios, more specifically the first one in g minor? We stumbled upon it while stowing through the libraries and we like it... How manageable is it? (I know it's quite a lot more difficult than the Haydn...) Can it be compared to, let's say, the set Moments Musicaux? I think it might be a bit more accessible...

Tips, tricks, advice etc., all greatly appreciated. Thanks!  :)

(BTW, I found a recording of the trio here: https://www.stringquartet.us/track1rpt.swf. Do you think the tempi are well-chosen?)

It's a bit offtopic maybe but you could also take a look at the Cesar Franck trio! It's really fun to do, and it's not OMGWTF-difficult.
