One year after the completion of the "Quartett-Konzert", Op.131, Louis Spohr finished his fourth Piano Trio, Op.133 (1846).  The first Piano Trio was greeted by the musical world with "uncommon joy".<br>
<br>
Whilst Spohr often wrote a final movement in virtuoso form in order to secure an effective ending, the strenght of the final movement in Op.133 lies in its pleasant lightness, transparency and rhythmic pithiness.<br>
<br>
This Trio is earnestly recommended to professional artists and amateur musicians as a graceful chamber composition of the romantic period.<br>
