Piano Trio - Advanced Higher

Piano Trio

Really simple.

There's 3 instruments in this. (hence: trio)
One is a piano. (hence: piano trio).

The other two are a violin and a cello.

Unless it's a pure crazy risky rebellious piano trio.
That might be a viola instead of a cello.

Here's a late Classical Piano Trio: (written by Beethoven)

These were used a wee bit more regularly in the Romantic era because of the boom in piano writing that happened in the late Classical era.

Here's a wee later Romantic one for you, just to get a feel for the timbre of a piano trio but to hear a difference in style. It's by Tchaikovsky, so it's got good emotional writing and melodic hook bits that you'll enjoy.
