Nach mehreren Misserfolgen mit neuen Opern konzentrierte sich Marschner vermehrt auf Kammermusik. So entstanden zwischen 1840 und 1855 sechs seiner insgesamt sieben Klaviertrios. Das hier vorgelegte Grand Trio g-Moll op. 111 ist das erste dieser reifen Klaviertrios. Das Werk erschien erstmals 1841 bei Friedrich Hofmeister in Leipzig und ist Sophie Cohen née Gleisdorffer (Sophie Sara Cohen, geboren am 20. November 1810 in Regensburg, gestorben am 8. Februar 1862 in Hannover) gewidmet. Marschner war offenbar um zyklische Geschlossenheit bemüht, weisen doch alle vier Sätze thematische Querbezüge und Verwandtschaften auf. Es handelt sich um ein Werk, das auch heute seine Wirkung nicht verfehlen sollte! (Christian Vitalis) Der Stimmensatz enthält neben Violin- und Cellostimme auch eine Klavierstimme.

Mendelssohn is considered a self-critical composer, who repeatedly reworked a number of his pieces until he deemed them worthy to be published. The path to his first Piano Trio was particularly rocky: only after several attempts was he able to complete it in the summer of 1839; it appeared in 1840 after further revisions. This perfectionism paid off, for Mendelssohn's D Minor Trio was immediately received with enthusiasm. Robert Schumann wrote: “It is the master trio of the present day, like those of Beethoven in Bb and D and that of Franz Schubert in Eb were in their time; a very beautiful composition which after years will still delight grandchildren and great-grandchildren.† Which was to prove true: even today, it numbers among the most popular works in the trio repertoire in general. The trio, taken from the volume Mendelssohn • Piano Trios HN 957, is now available from Henle for the first time also as a practical single edition.
