Frédéric Chopin composed his piano trio when he was an 18-year-old student. About the performance of the trio on 31 August 1830 he wrote: On Sunday we rehearsed the trio. Perhaps because I haven't heard it for a while, I was very happy with myself (fortunate man!). Incidentally, Robert Schumann also shared this opinion, writing in a review: Is it not as noble as possible, more full of enthusiasm than any song ever written by a poet, original in the smallest detail as in the whole, every note music and life? We agree with this verdict and recommend this Urtext edition to all lovers of highly romantic chamber music.
