Chopin composed the only piano trio around 1829. Chopin visited Austria during this time and obtained new ideas in music. This brought him boundless inspiration and excitement on music creation. Because of these influences, he attempted to compose some chamber music and piano concertos. At the same time, Chopin followed his professor Joseph Elsner to study 18th century theory.
