Ernest Austin
Piano Trio No.4, Op.26
Ernest Austin (1874-1947) was born in London. He was largely self taught and initially made a career in business. He did not decide to work full time as a composer until he was 33. Most of his works are for piano, although he did write several piano trios. No. 4, which dates from 1909, seems to be the only one which gained any traction. Although it is in one long movement, in reality, there are four sub-sections or movements---Allegro moderato con vigore, Allegro con animato, Allegro con vigore and Molto allegro con fuoco.
Though not a titanic or epic work, this trio has considerable charm and appeal and can be recommended to both professionals and amateurs alike. In the concert hall, it will leave a pleasing impression.
