about

The Trio in A major, imbued with astonishing juvenile ardour, is obviously the work of a pianist writing for himself in his ‘Sturm und Drang’ period. Featuring a gushing, overabundant thematic profusion, it is quite close to the style of the first version of the Trio No. 1 in B major Op. 8. The Trio No. 2 in C major appears as a model of balance between great melodic richness and a lofty mastery of form and freedom of inspiration.

Here, the Phantasie spirit remains, but a post-Beethovenian vigour gives density to a discourse that is successively meditative, pathetic and rustling ‘with nocturnal whispers’, coming to a close in full light on a robust peasant dance. Most likely coming from the same pen, probably some thirty years apart, here are an amazing youthful attempt and its masterful ‘fair copy’.
