Piano Trio in D minor

A classically rooted piano trio in three movements that in its musical expressiveness exceeds the formal conventions of the genre. The first one's high level of drive and energy that is established right from the start is built up by its syncopated rhythms and contrast between two very different themes in terms of metre and tempo.

The introverted second movement turns the established atmosphere upside down with its delicately arpeggiated theme that is then steadily raised to a triumphantly exuberant climax.

The Trio closes - in typical Lehensteiner-fashion - with a bold and energetic Waltz that in itself is full of harsh and unexpected twists that are to be expected from a Lehensteiner-piece.
