From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, Op. 67, by Dmitri Shostakovich was written in 1944 and dedicated to his closest friend Ivan Sollertinsky after his death. The work received its premiere in Leningrad on 14 November 1944. The piece consists of four movements:

  1. Andante
  2. Allegro non troppo
  3. Largo
  4. Allegretto

This Jewish melody from the last movement was quoted in Shostakovich's famous String Quartet No. 8.
