Piano Trio No. 1 for Violin, Cello, and Piano

 

This piece was my first attempt at in-depth writing for strings.  The piece was originally a one movement work written in the fall of 2003.  I decided to add two more complimenting movements to the piece.  The third movement was written second and premiered in 2005.  The movement was written to contrast the first movement’s slow – fast – slow form by providing a form consisting of fast – slow – fast.  The second movement was completed in October of 2005 and featured a repetitive pattern in the piano throughout the entire movement (Hence the title “Perpetual Motion”).

Instrumentation: Violin, Cello, and Piano
