W.A. Mozart: piano trio G major - KV 564
Written in 1788, the trio is Mozart's last work in this genre, composed in his final years in Vienna. Contemporaries praised the “endearing simplicity” and elegance of the piece, which still captivates today with its melodic magic and chamber music intimacy.
W.A. Mozart: Trio E major - KV 542
This trio was also composed in 1788, the same summer as Mozart's last symphonies. While the work shows the highest formal maturity, the middle movement surprises with an almost nursery rhyme-like tone - simple, but with that inimitable elegance that turns even the simplest melody into a small stroke of genius.

F.Mendelssohn-Bartholdy: Piano trio No.2 c-minor - op.66
Composed in 1845, this trio combines dramatic intensity with voluptuous melody and virtuoso brilliance. Mendelssohn dedicated it to the violinist Louis Spohr, and Robert Schumann admired the “deep ardor, the noble design and the mastery of technique”. A passionate work that is still one of the highlights of Romantic chamber music today.
