"Spuren einer Tradition"

During the 2026 concert season, the Steiner Trio will focus on three significant works from the piano trio repertoire, combining compositions from different eras into a single program. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Trio in G Major, K. 564, Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio in G-sharp minor, Op. 17, and Johannes Brahms’ Piano Trio No. 3 in C minor, Op. 101, span more than a century of music history.
The three works demonstrate in different ways how the piano trio genre evolved over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries —from the clarity and balance of the Viennese Classical period, through the poetic and personal musical language of the early Romantic era, to the focused and expressive musical language of the late 19th century. This direct comparison reveals not only the individual musical worlds of the three composers but also the diverse connections between the works.
