Andrzej Panufnik's Piano Trio is his first work and the only surviving pre-war composition. Written for violin, cello and piano, Panufnik's Piano Trio No.1 is a reconstructed composition originally written in 1934 when Panufnik was 19 - 20 years old.[1] and later reconstructed in 1945. Including this trio, all of Panufnik's works written before 1944 were burnt down in the Warsaw Uprising.[2] He later decided to reconstruct three of his works from memory. His Piano Trio is one of these compositions (the other two are: Tragic Overture for orchestra and Five Polish Peasant Songs for unison soprano voices and woodwinds).[3]

Structure
editPanufnik's Piano Trio is based on the classical model, consisting of three movements. Movement 1 starting with a slow introduction followed by a sonata allegro (Poco adagio – Allegro – Poco adagio), movement 2 as a song-like, beautifully lyrical piece (Largo) and movement 3, a dance like, jouful scherzo (Presto)[4]
