Piano Trios for Violin, Cello and Piano Edited by Ernst Herttrich with fingerings in the piano part by Klaus Schilde. After an early work and a discontinued attempt in 1831-32, Mendelssohn made his breakthrough in this important chamber music genre in the summer of 1839 with the Piano Trio in D minor, Op. 49, which was to be followed six years later by the Trio in C minor, Op. 66. On publication of the first trio, Schumann took the opportunity to describe the composer as the “Mozart of the 19th century,” whereby he was obviously alluding to the mixture of Classical and Romantic stylistic elements. The musical text of these two famous trios has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest scholarly findings. This version is for violin, cello and piano. Another version is also available which includes a flute part for the alternative version of Op. 49 (flute instead of violin) that Mendelssohn himself made.
