 | | Rachmaninov's Trio élégiaque, Op 9 (not to be confused with an earlier, slighter Trio élégiaque in G minor), is chamber music in the grandest, heart-on-sleeve style. |
 | | Rachmaninov's trio, in turn, was written on the death of Tchaikovsky. |
 | | Shostakovich's Trio in E minor, another memorial work, written in 1944 on the death of the composer's great friend Ivan Sollertinsky, is more spare and bleak, more sharply cutting in its flness and despair, and altogether more individual in its handling of the medium. |
