Théodore Gouvy (3 July 1819 – 21 April 1898) was a French/German composer. He studied music mostly in private courses in Paris and Berlin. Drawn toward instrumental music rather than opera, Gouvy chose to live the last third of his life almost entirely in Germany where he felt more appreciated. He wrote twenty-four compositions for full orchestra, including nine symphonies, as well as overtures and variations. Chamber music also comprises a large portion of Gouvy's work, as well as many melodies, lieder and five dramatic cantatas. During his lifetime, his compositions were held in high regard.

Founded in 1982, the Munich Piano Trio (“Münchner Klaviertrio”) is one of the most active and sought-after German chamber music ensembles. The musicians have undertaken lengthy concert tours throughout Europe, North America, Russia, Japan, China, and a few African countries. The trio has given concerts in the world’s most famous venues, including the Chamber Music Hall of the Berliner Philharmonie, Carnegie Recital Hall in New York, and Wigmore Hall in London. Global master classes, frequent performances on radio and television, and more than 40 CD’s round off the activities of the Munich Piano Trio.
