Scherzo: Molto allegro (20:48) 4. Adagio - Allegro (26:40) Trio Parnassus Wolfgang Schroder, violin; Michael Gross, cello and Chia Chou, piano Details by Edition Silvertrust Bargiel’s Piano Trio No.2 in E flat Major, Op.20 consists of four movements. The big first movement, Allegro moderato, begins with a leisurely theme of heroic tones. The second theme, introduced by the piano is darker. The quiet and reflective theme of the following Andante takes its time, like a flower in the sun, unfolding the leaves of its melody. When restated in dramatic fashion, it assumes the guise of a dignified march. A ghostly Scherzo, molto allegro, comes next. Heavily syncopated, it brings forth a spooky atmosphere. Bargiel begins the finale with a long Andante poco adagio introduction which builds suspense and leads to the impression of something unhappy impending. However, the main part of the movement, Allegro, is both joyous and affirming. It, too, has a heroic quality. Woldemar Bargiel (1828-97) was Clara Schumann’s half brother. Throughout their lives, they enjoyed a warm relationship and thanks to Clara, Bargiel was introduced to both Robert Schumann and Felix Mendelssohn who encouraged him to study at the famous Leipzig Conservatory with two of the leading men of music: Ignaz Moscheles (piano) and Niels Gade (composition). Bargiel held positions at the conservatories in Cologne and Rotterdam before accepting a position at the prestigious Hochschule fur Musik in Berlin where he taught for the rest of his life. Among his many students were Paul Juon and Leopold Godowsky. While Bargiel did not write a lot of music, most of what he composed was well thought out and shows solid musical craftsmanship. His chamber music—he wrote four string quartets, a string octet and three piano trios—represents an important part of his output.
