Inspired by the great C minor Brahms Piano Trio Op. 101, the Trio in F# is a dark and brooding work, punctuated by a joyous and optimistic Scherzo. The composer writes: ” the Scherzo comes from my American side. It’s open harmonies and noble demeanor speak of the light in mid-afternoon on a New England common in early June.”
