The piano trio has been a favorite medium for composers since its inception with Franz Joseph Haydn''s compositions for violin, cello, and piano. There have been numerous compositions by many composers since that time, and the piano trio continues to interest composers today.

In the twentieth century, the number of composers and compositions has seen a phenomenal increase.
