Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ： Piano Trio No.5 in C-Dur K.548

This work is distinguished by its bright, refined sound, with piano, violin, and cello engaging in an equal musical dialogue. Its three movements comprise a lively first movement, a songful second movement, and a light, energetic finale; throughout, the piano’s brilliant activity and the strings’ melodic lines are passed delicately from one instrument to another. The highlights lie in the intimate chamber-music dialogue and the subtle changes of expression within its brightness. In performance, the piano should not be overly restrained even when taking an accompanying role, while the voices should be carefully balanced with a clear sense of where the melody lies. Crisp articulation suits the lighter passages, while the slow movement calls for breathing phrasing and natural lyricism, with close attention to the blend and balance of all three instruments.
