Listening to Mendelssohn's 2nd piano trio this morning, I couldn't help notice that one of the themes of the first movement seems to be a direct quote from Schumann's piano quintet - the funeral march slow movement. Surely no coincidence?
BTW, I'd be happy to hear recommendations for recordings of Schumann's piano quintet, as the two I have are less than satisfactory (Alberni (tho' great in the quartets) and Via Nova).
