About
Most of Kahn’s published works in general and his chamber music in particular are from the years of the German Empire, which has to be regarded as his central creative period. He wrote all four of his original piano trios prior to 1918. These works are distinguished by their comprehensibility and concise three-part design and delight audiences with their charm and colourful verve.

Kahn is an anachronism, a well-intentioned and no doubt most-gifted composer, who just happened to be born about half-a-century too late. This has perhaps contributed to his, some might argue, unjust neglect. At worst this is entertaining Romantic salon music, though not without the academic rigours of some contrapuntal writing along the way.
