Piano Trio (Bernstein)
Leonard Bernstein's Piano Trio for piano, violin, and cello was written in 1937 while he was attending Harvard University as a student of Walter Piston. He was influenced by the conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos. Several melodic ideas were recycled for use in later pieces; for example, the opening of the second movement was used later by Bernstein in his first musical, On the Town.
