In 1854, Brahms completed the Piano Trio in B major, which is today regarded as his first. However, he wrote at the same time to his friend Schumann that he had already composed several piano trios earlier - and one of these may be a trio in A major that surfaced in a music collection in 1928… unsigned and handwritten by an unknown copyist.
But is the trio really an early work by Brahms - or was it written, for instance, by his close friend Albert Dietrich, as some musicologists have suggested? We will probably never know for sure. But the music itself - there is nothing wrong with it. Listen for yourself!
