Piano Trio No. 1 in d minor, Op. 63

Composer: SCHUMANN, Robert
  • Schumann’s piano trio for piano, violin, and cello was written in 18471 within a span of just two weeks, amid a period of creative outpouring.2 The piece is passionate, restless, and quintessentially Romantic in character.
  • Titles of the four movements:
    1. Mit Energie und Leidenschaft (“With energy and passion”)
    2. Lebhaft, doch nicht zu rasch (“Lively, but not too fast”)
    3. Langsam, mit inniger Empfindung (“Slowly, with deep feeling”)
    4. Mit Feuer (“With fire”)3
