Piano Trio in C-minor RMWV 448

Anniversary edition for the 50th anniversary of Rudolf Mauersberger. Rudolf Mauersberger’s chamber music works – in addition to the piano trio (1913/14) , a string quartet has survived (EM 2000) – are early compositions from the time befor he began his cantor career in Aachen in.

Both compositions are formally conservative. In harmony, however, Mauersberger was looking for new ways on the basis of the traditional tonal structure.
