Trio B-Dur op. 133

One year after the completion of the 'Quartett-Konzert', Op. 131, Louis Spohr finished his fourth Piano Trio, Op. 133 (1846). The first Piano Trio was greeted by the musical world with 'uncommon joy'.

Whilst Spohr often wrote a final movement in virtuoso form in order to secure an effective ending, the strength of the final movement in Op.133 lies in its pleasant lightness, transparency and rhythmic pithiness. This Trio is earnestly recommended to professional artists and amateur musicians as a graceful chamber composition of the romantic period.
