Piano Trio #2, 23’00” (2011)
Each performer in this trio has a starring movement. The first features the piano, the second the cello, and the fourth the violin. In the middle − the third movement− is a scherzo-rondo in which the instruments combine equally and gleefully. The movements can be performed alone or together.
