Here they turn their attention to Mendelssohn\\u2019s two late piano trios and the performances are fresh and exhilarating!\\r\u003cbr\u003eMendelssohn was without doubt the most precociously gifted composer the world has ever known: not even Mozart produced \\u2018mature\\u2019 masterpieces while still in his teens. He was also double prodigy on the violin and piano (Clara Schumann described him as \\u2018the dearest pianist of all\\u2019), an exceptional athlete, a talented poet (Goethe was a childhood friend and confidant), multi-linguist, watercolorist and philosopher. He excelled at virtually anything which could hold his attention for long enough, although it was music above all which activated his creative imagination. \\r\u003cbr\u003eThe well-known Op 49 in D minor and Op 66 in C minor represent the peak of Mendelssohn\\u2019s achievement in his relatively small output of chamber music; both trios are similar in structure and mood, beginning with a sombre and intense first movement, followed by a lyrical and melodic slow movement; the third movement is a fleeting and magical scherzo and ending with an energetic finale.\u003cp\u003eMolto Allegro Agitato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante Con Moto Tranquillo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScherzo: Leggiero E Vivace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinale: Allegro Assai Appassionato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro Enerrgico E Fuoco\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante Espressivo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScherzo: Molto Allegro Quasi Presto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinale: Allegro Appassionato\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55159400399233,"sku":"683569","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61nOYMFuLWL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767976422","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/683569","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
