Trio No. 1 for violin, cello and piano

Trio No. 1 is composed using serial technique, and all three movements are based on the same tone row. The work is dissonant harmonically and very complex rhythmically. The style is basically contrapuntal and employs traditional contrapuntal forms. The first movement contains a cannon and the third movement a fugato. The overall form is reminiscent of the Italian overture in that the two exterior movements are fast, while the interior movement is slow.
