Paul Schoenfield (b. 1947): Café Music for Piano Trio (1986)

1. how you come across to it:
I first heard two movements of it at an MIT concert last year when I page-turned for a trio playing this piece.

2. why this piece?
My friends and myself attempted to read this last night.

3. (and...)
We found it too difficult to sight-read it even after dividing the piano part between two pianists!

A rendition of the first movement by the Triple Helix Trio can be heard here:

A nice performance of the first movement by the Lincoln Trio:
