    Neither Friedrich nor Alexander Fesca lived to an old age. The father reached 39, while his son barely made it to 29. Yet, in the short years they had, both made significant contributions, particularly in the field of chamber music, both in terms of quantity and quality. While Friedrich earned his reputation primarily through his excellent string quartets, Alexander became known for his numerous works for piano and small ensemble. Among these are the six trios that Trio Paian recorded for cpo - lyrical creations that flirt with the stylistic elements of Romanticism, full of beautiful melodies, spiced with a hint of folk influences, and overall so successful that, during their composer's lifetime, they likely held great appeal for the growing number of amateur musicians. Many tender bonds were likely formed as these works were played in salons.

    Alexander Fesca, born in Karlsruhe in 1820, spent the largest part of his life there. He then took up residence in Braunschweig as a chamber virtuoso to Prince von Fürstenberg in 1842 but died there of a lung ailment in 1849. Fesca compiled a considerable catalogue of sixty works with opus numbers, his main focus piano and chamber music. Op. 12 and 46, two of his six Piano Trios, were composed during the 1840s and thus belong to the same period as relevant works by Mendelssohn and Schumann. Piano Trio №. 5 merits special mention: a highly appealing work with a wealth of beautiful melodies.
