Piano Trio No. 2 (Mendelssohn)
- Piano Trio No. 2 (Mendelssohn)
Felix Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66 was composed and published in 1845. The work is scored for a standard piano trio consisting of violin, cello and piano. Mendelssohn dedicated the work to the violinist Louis Spohr, who played through the piece with the composer at least once.
Movements
The trio has four movements:
# Allegro energico e con fuoco
# Andante espressivo
# Scherzo: Molto allegro quasi presto
# Finale: Allegro appassionato
A typical performance lasts just under 30 minutes.
A notable feature of the finale of this work is its quotation of the melody of a chorale taken from the sixteenth-century Genevan psalter ('Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit').
