The Piano Trio for violin, cello, piano in D minor, Op. 11, by Fanny Hensel was conceived between 1846 and 1847 as a birthday present for her sister Rebecka, and posthumously published in 1850, three years after the composer's death.
The trio is in four movements:
In 1847, an anonymous critic in the Neue Berliner Musikzeitung found in the trio “...broad, sweeping foundations that build themselves up through stormy waves into a marvelous edifice. In this respect the first movement is a masterpiece, and the trio most highly original.” Angela Mace Christian refers to the piece in Grove Music Online as "one of her most impressive chamber works."
