- "Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Trio in A minor, Op. 50, was written in Rome between December 1881 and late January 1882. It is subtitled « À la mémoire d’un grand artiste » - In memory of a great artist, in reference to Nikolai Rubinstein, his close friend and mentor, who had died on 23 March 1881. It is scored for piano, violin, and cello. The work's first version was completed by late January 1882. Private performances were held in March and April. The work underwent considerable revision before its premiere on 30 October at a quartet concert of the Russian Musical Society in Moscow. The players at the performance were Sergei Taneyev (piano), Jan Hřímalý (violin), and Wilhelm Fitzenhagen (cello).
The Pezzo elegiaco is a darkly brooding and rather conventional romantic first movement with a beautiful opening cello solo with a theme that returns for a final funeral march.
The second movement is rather more unusual: it opens with an almost classical melody, much like Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme for cello, and then proceeds with an assured set of variations, also like the Rococo Variations. After working itself into more and more ecstatic heights culminating with the final variation, it suddenly goes through a surprising modulation to the original minor key, and the theme from the first movement returns with an even greater gravity, and the entire piece concludes with yet another death march.
The work, and the second movement in particular, is arguably the most difficult piece Tchaikovsky wrote for piano, whether solo, with orchestra, or in a chamber group. It remains popular, despite its length, for its breathtaking lyricism and the cosmic finality of its final statement."

Performed by Evgeny Kissin (Piano), Joshua Bell (Violin) and Mischa Maisky (Cello) live in 2009. They chose to omit an optional portion of the Variazioni finale e coda which featured repeated material.
I. Pezzo elegiaco (Moderato assai / Allegro giusto) - 00:05
II. (A) Tema con variazioni - 18:16
II. (B) Variazione finale e coda - 36:07
Kissin really shines in this. His performance is crisp and virtuosic, yet the violin and cello are heard clearly all the time as well. An outstanding performance by all three.
A beautiful tribute to amazing piano virtuoso Nikolai Rubenstein, one of Tchaikovsky’s closest friends.

Bless you
This piece of music is doing something to me... like a religious awakening.
Almost like a concerto!
Having listened to a lot of Tchaikovsky, I can hear that he has put so much of his heart into his music. His music sings, and it hits people right into heart. His pieces are so touching, they have so much of story in them, they are just so warm. Every time I hear them, I am always taken away into my thought, and imagination, and memories. This piece is no exception to his incredibly emotional and poetic standard, which has, I must note, no exceptions. This is a very soulful work (of course, it's Tchaikovsky). I must also note the brief (and very beautiful) violin concerto concerto moment at 0:57 Thank you for sharing this!
No wonder he is one of the most popular figures of the Romantic Era
@@lopkobor6916 Well, yeah, because if one utilizes the entirety of their genius in pretty much every piece of music they write, like Tchaikovsky, then they are obviously going to be among the top in popularity, because people appreciate genius ideas. But yes, I agree with you, he is among the most popular, and he deserves it completely.
I know. This music resonates with the soul
Absolutely. This piano trio is one of the most beautiful creations EVER. Although I admit I may be biased because I’ve loved Tchaikovsky for 30 years, all his music is just so incredible and special. Nothing like it before or after his short time on Earth.
@@thesilvershining Yes, I do agree, I also think this is one of the most precious gems in all of music. It is very tragic that he left us at only fifty three years and so suddenly. He could have written so much more brilliant music, it was a great loss for culture when he died. But we are very lucky to have had a person like him born into this Earth, who made the world a more beautiful place.

La, aproape, un secol și jumătate de când a fost compusă bucata asta muzicală, impresionează în continuare lumea nebună din jurul meu. Ceva nu-i în ordine cu lumea sau cu mine...
Your work is noticed and appreciated :D
Very powerful piece of music
Superb! The best I have heard in a long time. Maisky always makes me cry even if when I intentionally don't know who the cello player is, without doubt, at the end of a piece when I look up the artist Maisky never fails me. Kissing is superb and rock steady. The contrast of Bell's relatively bright and light violin sound is quite fitting among these other deep penetrating sound.
Splendid work of art! A masterpiece…
Tchaikovsky hits another musical home run to the heart even in a chamber music medium he didnt quite care for. He doesnt hold back, giving his all. Thats why he is, after Mozart, the worlds most popular compose. The listener in kind instinctively responds to his emotional full bodied outpourings
È di una bellezza incredibile, idee sublimi incastonate in armonie meravigliose, finiscono col ricordarci di vivere la vita con profondità, gratitudine e rispetto verso tutto; poichè è breve e al termine di essa ci attende l'ignoto. Il finale sembra riecheggiare la marcia dell'opera.35 di Chopin.
Again, a masterpiece by Tchaïkovski…
The Ninth Variation (Andante flebile) is among the most wistful, exquisite pieces ever written - 29:23. The lamentoso duet between Bell and Maisky is a communion of souls.
Second movement theme reminds me the fiesta and second theme of the fiesta movenent of the Tchaikovsky' Second Piano Concerto.
Such a good piece! I don't have many, but this is one of my favorites. Thanks for uploading!
This is a superb piece of music. In my humble opinion, It emulates other great piano trios, such as those by Schubert,Beethoven, Brahms et al.
I completely agree. For me, this masterpiece is right at the top, next to Beethoven's Archduke.
please don't forger Schumann
When a work emulates other composers then it is not a masterpiece. A good work but I would not listen to it all day. It does not
fascinates me.
@@francobonanni3499 -- Oh...but then you would be Wrong! (Personally, though, I prefer Richter's 'heroïc' reading......)
Best piano trio for me. And...he hated the genre. That's why there is just one. It's still layered down symphonic.
Tschaikowsky was a genius
Tell me about it.😅
Thank you for uploading!!
Very great form and beautiful melody 💙
Nice... Great pacing and phrasing. Commitment and dedication by the performers made the music live. For me, a thoroughly satisfying experience. Bravo! An extraordinary concert, intense and exquisite. This is a luscious and visceral performance. Exciting performance full of sustained tension. Also, a very nice video too. The audio production was tops. I wish more people would appreciate this music.
Top comment in Every Classical Music Video^^^^
Nobody, not even Chopin himself 'unlocked' great minor melodies like Tchaikovsky here..Just fantastic, even as a Chopin die-hard fan, this is amazing..The Trio sounds full and well-rounded- sometimes, It just sounds like a 3 in 1 instrument..lol, A Piavillo..Amazing!!
Brilliant video!
So refreshing and lilting.
Thank you!
Thank you for the score.
21:33 - Var 4.
Wow! What a discovery!
41:43. Hmmm... Something's telling I've heard this before....
It's also a return and development from the section in 9:45 , quite the thrilling finale considering that it's Tchaikovsky's elegie on Nikolai Rubinstein. He first expresses his sorrow with a diverse chromatical modulation for a more powerful flashback to the main theme, and ends the work with a solemn "funeral march" section that also serves as a reminiscence to the past. It also expresses the desperation of Tchaikovsky, not willing to both fathom and digest the loss of his friend, the melody always shows a tendency to go on and on until the composer gives in to the reality of the situation.
@@lisztomani4c oh hey! I remember you.

Thank you so much!
Could I possibly request an upload, with rolling score, of the two piano trios of Elfrida Andrée? Her music is absolutely gorgeous, and olla-vogala has a video up of her piano quintet, but she isn't well known enough to have more of her compositions uploaded with rolling score.
Sure, I'll add them to my list!
Thank you very much!
While I prefer Richter's virile reading, Kissin does come Alive here at The Grand Finale.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

I infer this piece isn't so popular ( this is my first time hearing it). Seems like it would be an audience favorite. The texture is like Brahms but the music is more accessible

The cut in this performance was countenanced by Tchaikovsky himself, and thus one cannot object to it as such. But it is erroneous to characterize it as involving "repeated material." In the modern era we have become used to hearing complete performances, and many listeners will miss the many measures of music not to be heard here even once.
