An excellent resource on a specialized genre...This book definitely belongs in music libraries and on the shelves of pianists who are trio members and chamber musicians. It is, further, a boon to composers because, in this format, it is likely to reach just that very group who are searching for new music to program. Drucker's guide is worth every penny.
