Chamber music was a crucial element in Enescu\’s output and these two works, separated by seven years, represent very different phases of his compositional development. The large-scale Piano Quartet No. 1 marks the climax of his early maturity. The Piano Trio in A minor, however, was unknown until 1965 and represents a more transitional stage — a compact but intricately expressive work with an animated and compelling sequence of variations at its heart.
