The Russian piano trio reached its apogee with Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A minor, dedicated to the
memory of Nikolay Rubinstein. A monumental piece in the repertoire, it is cast in only two movements, and
was played at Tchaikovsky’s own memorial concert two years after its composition. Paul Pabst’s Piano Trio
in A major is less well known. Composed in memory of Nikolay Rubinstein’s brother, Anton, it is a work of
exceptional virtuosity and flowing lyricism, with unpredictable harmonies, a delightful Intermezzo and a tour
de force of a Finale.
