The Piano Trio in B major, Op. 8, by Johannes Brahms was composed during 1854. The composer produced a revised version of the work in 1889.〔IMSLP; yes, published in 1891, but premiered in early January 1890. Brahms wrote to Clara on September 3, 1889 that he had rewritten his B major trio. See (notes to Kennedy Center performance. )〕〔Conrad Wilson: ''Notes on Brahms: 20 Crucial Works'' (Edinboro, Saint Andrew Press: 2005) p. 8〕 It is scored for piano, violin and cello, and it is the only work of Brahms to exist today in two published versions, although it is almost always the revised version that we hear performed today. Among the piano trios known to have been written by Brahms it is the only one that ends in a minor key. It is also among the few multi-movement works to begin in a major key and end in the tonic minor (another example being Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony). The trio is in four movements: Original version (1854): #''Allegro con moto – Tempo un poco più Moderato – Schnell'' #''Scherzo: Allegro molto – Trio: Più lento – Tempo primo'' #''Adagio non troppo – Allegro – Tempo primo'' #''Finale: Allegro molto agitato – Un poco più lento – Tempo primo'' Revised version (1889): #''Allegro con brio – Tranquillo – In tempo ma sempre sostenuto'' #''Scherzo: Allegro molto – Meno allegro – Tempo primo'' #''Adagio'' #''Finale: Allegro'' ==First movement== (B major, 2/2) This movement is a sonata form movement in B major, with a broad theme that begins in the cello and piano and builds in intensity. It is counterpoised by a more delicate anacrustic second theme in G minor. This theme appeared only in the second version of the trio, replacing a more complex group of themes and a fugal section in the first version. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piano Trio No. 1 (Brahms)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
