柴可夫斯基的鋼琴三重奏涵蓋了歡樂，悲傷和悲劇的情緒, 而且在構成第二樂章的宏偉變奏曲系列, 是那種他最喜愛的酸甜苦辣感覺的回憶. 雖然柴可夫斯基自己承認不怎麼喜愛這種樂器組合, 但他創造了一件在規模和野心程度都是獨特的作品, 對演奏此作品者是有許多特殊的挑戰. 這一部份的原因是其源自於一件二手的作品(d'occasion), 這無可避免的影響其音階與音調.

Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio encompasses moods of gaiety, pathos and tragedy and, in the grand series of variations which form the second movement, that sense of bittersweet reminiscence of which the composer was so fond. Although he was, by his own admission, less than enamoured of this combination of instruments, Tchaikovsky created a work unique in scale and ambition, one that presents many special challenges to its performers. This is partly because of its origins as a piece d'occasion, something which inevitably affected its scale and tone.
