8, in C minor for violin, violoncello and piano is a very early chamber composition by Dmitri Shostakovich.

Twenty years later, the composer wrote the more well-known Piano Trio No.

By the time the score was being prepared for publication six decades later, the last 22 bars of the piano part had been lost, which were completed by Shostakovich's pupil, Boris Tishchenko.

[2] In a letter to the trio's dedicatee, his then girlfriend Tatiana Glivenko, Shostakovich wrote that the second subject had been salvaged from a partially lost Piano Sonata in B minor he had composed three years before.

[3] It was first performed privately by the composer and two of his friends, followed by an audition for Nikolai Myaskovsky at the Moscow Conservatory on April 8, 1924.
