And it&#8217;s one of three late, lonely symphonies that he actually meant to [...]]]></description>

Beaux Arts Trio







Over a half-century on, the ensemble that was arguably the world&#8217;s most famous piano trio is no more.  In August of 2008, when this article first appeared, they played their finale where they made their 1955 debut &#8212; the Tanglewood Festival.

The War of the Austrian Succession sapped Europe&#8217;s prosperity and will from 1840 to 1848.  As soon as the ink was dry on the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, England was ready for a celebration.
