Variation 9 is one of 11 variations (and a theme) that make up Tchaikovsky’s elegiac second movement of a work dedicated to the memory of Nikolai Rubinstein. The violin and cello alternate in passionate pleas while the piano accompanies with harp-like figurations in a kind of quiet serenade to a much-loved musician.

From the Amsterdam Piano Trio’s upcoming debut recording, which pairs two giants of the late nineteenth-century chamber repertoire: Tchaikovsky’s ‘Piano Trio’ of 1882 and Schoenberg’s ‘Verklärte Nacht’.
