'''Piano Trio No. 1''' in [[D minor]], [[Opus number|Op]]. 32, for [[violin]], [[cello]] and [[piano]] is a [[Romantic music|Romantic]] [[chamber music|chamber]] composition by the [[Russia]]n composer [[Anton Arensky]]. It was written in 1894 and is in four movements:<ref>See score and performance at [http://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Trio_No.1,_Op.32_(Arensky,_Anton_Stepanovich) IMSLP].</ref>

# [[Tempo#Italian tempo markings|Allegro]] moderato (in [[D minor]] and in [[sonata form]]) – Unlike the agitated opening melody of the first movement from Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1, this piece opens gently, lyrically and elegiacally, setting an autumnal mood of the whole work. This movement ends with a coda marked "Adagio".
# [[Scherzo]] ([[Tempo#Italian tempo markings|Allegro]] molto) (in [[D major]] and in [[ternary form]]) – The movement in the [[parallel key]] (tonic major) features flying notes, and a waltz-like middle section mainly in B-flat major. The movement is cheerful throughout.
# Elegia ([[Tempo#Italian tempo markings|Adagio]]) (in [[G minor]] and in [[ternary form]]) – Following the cheerful scherzo comes the contrasting and sad slow movement in the [[subdominant]] minor. Presenting no formal grief but memorial thoughts, this movement is deeply elegiac but not funereal. The middle section begins in G major but involves a number of key modulations, which makes the passage that initially evokes a brighter mood even more affecting yet dreamlike later on.
# Finale ([[Tempo#Italian tempo markings|Allegro]] non troppo) (in [[D minor]] and in [[rondo form]]) – Back in D minor, the movement opens dramatically. Later comes a recollection of themes from the third and first movements, which is followed by a turbulent ending that restates the primary theme of this movement.

The trio is dedicated to the memory of the renowned Russian cellist, [[Karl Davydov]].

The composer made a very early recording of the trio on wax cylinders, with the violinist [[Jan Hřímalý]], the cellist [[Anatoliy Brandukov]], and himself at the piano. This recording was made shortly after its composition and is almost certainly its first recording, although it is not complete.<ref>Wakin, Daniel J.
