August Wilhelm Bach (1796 - 1869) was organist of the Marienkriche in Berlin. Despite his name, he was unrelated to the famous Bach family. He was , however, an influential figure in the Berlin music scene in the second third of the 19th century. Though he is now perhaps mostly remembered as the teacher of Felix mendelsohn Bartholdy, he was a composer himself as well. This charming Trio shows that though he was not one of the great composers, he did write music that is nice to play and listen to.
