Adolph von Henselt: Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 24 (1851)

0:00 Allegro ma non troppo
11:45 Andante con moto
16:00 Scherzo: presto
19:49 Finale. Allegro non troppo
The trio dates from 1851 and is dedicated to his friend Franz Liszt. The turbulent opening Allegro ma non troppo begins with a lovely and lyrical melody but tension is quickly built and an emotional climax is quickly reached before the introduction of the appealing and somewhat calmer second theme. The Andante which follows, much like the first movement, begins quietly with a simple but beautiful melody. Before long, it is interrupted by powerful emotional outbursts which punctuate the development and create a original and striking effect. Then a comes an exciting and energetic Presto which hardly allows one to catch one's breath. The lyrical trio provides an excellent contrast. The finale, Allegro non troppo, has for its first theme an urgent-sounding, somewhat Mendelssohnian melody. A highly romantic second subject follows and the music concludes with an explosive coda.Schumann praised this trio as an extraordinary accomplishment and anyone who either hears or plays it will soon conclude that this is a very fine work. Long out of print, this trio ought to be revived in concert and will surely give amateurs much enjoyment as well.
