First of all, it is Roussel's third Trio, and the second for the conventional grouping of violin, viola and cello; and he was working on a fourth trio when he died.
The best Roussel is found among his chamber and instrumental pieces, which include a piano trio (1902), string trio (1937), and a delightful serenade for flute, violin, viola, cello, and harp (1925).
The brevity of the [final] movement makes one suspect that Roussel had originally intended to write a four-movement piece in which this movement would really function as a scherzo, and that he only changed it into a finale when he was suffering from his fatal illness.
