There are virtuoso first and last movements in this trio, expressive cantilena (andante) and charming scherzo in between, attributes which are distinctive about Farrenc’s chamber- and orchestral compositions located near to the classical model. Reprint of the excellent first publication.
“Luise Farrenc manages to be both bold and subtle. This Trio illustrates her most distinguishing feature: the effective scherzo which cuts across the female stereotype. Here we have a fiery scherzo with engaging cross rhythms.”
