Early and late romantic piano trios
The trio of Nikita Boriso-Glebsky, Narek Hakhnazaryan and Georgy Tchaidze is already one of the chamber music constants at the Wiener Konzerthaus. In this concert, they span the genre of the piano trio, from the early Romantic period to its late foothills.

... from Russia
Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 1 in C minor op. 8 was composed in 1923 while he was still a student at the Petrograd Conservatory, but already displays his characteristic ironic ambiguity. The Piano Trio in D minor op. 32 by Anton Arensky from 1894 is firmly anchored in Russian late Romanticism. Like Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich later on, he used the form of a trio to commemorate a deceased composer and cellist Karl Davidov, who was one of the most important soloists of his time.

... and Germany
Schumann's Phantasiestücke op. 88 from the chamber music year 1842, which were composed before his two piano trios labelled as such, are also an early chamber music work. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy also made an important contribution to chamber music Romanticism with his Piano Trio in D minor op. 49 from 1839, which is now considered a key work of the genre and combines classical formal clarity with Romantic expressive intensity.
