Nearly an
entire decade lies
between the first mention
(1831) and the printing
(1840) of the Trio op.
49. Mendelssohn kept
trying to set it to
paper, but he was
probably again making too
many demands on this
work, his first in the
piano trio genre. Yet his
efforts were immediately
rewarded: It is the
master trio of the
present, and Mendelssohn
the Mozart of the 19th
century, proclaimed
Robert Schumann, who was
also to compose a
landmark D minor Trio
seven years later.
Mendelssohn's second Trio
op. 66 was composed with
a relatively light hand
in 1845. Over and beyond
the familiar Trios opp.
49 and 66, the
corresponding volume of
the Leipziger
Mendelssohn-Ausgabe
contains sketches and
drafts in the same
scoring, which were not
further developed.
