Info for History of the Russian Piano Trio, Vol. 2

The Russian piano trio reached its apogee with Tchaikovskys Piano Trio in A minor, dedicated to the memory of Nikolay Rubinstein. A monumental piece in the repertoire, it is cast in only two movements, and was played at Tchaikovskys own memorial concert two years after its composition. Paul Pabsts Piano Trio in A major is less well known. Composed in memory of Nikolay Rubinsteins brother, Anton, it is a work of exceptional virtuosity and flowing lyricism, with unpredictable harmonies, a delightful Intermezzo and a tour de force of a Finale.
