Well done! I can see the potential for a masterpiece here. The first 5 minutes seemed a bit aimless at times, but from about that point onward it was clear and coherent. You clearly have a good understanding of all three instruments, and the dynamic of a piano trio. There are some awkward chord progressions in the first 5 minutes, particularly when transitioning from one section to another, that might need to be cleaned up a bit. I definitely like the fugato just after 8:00, but I have some concerns about whether or not some of the pizzicato would be audible in actual performance. Would it hurt at all to just bite the bullet and bow those notes? Also, it could get even more interesting if you were to use the piano to play two or even three parts in an extended fugato.
So is this a complete piano trio, or just one movement of one? Very often Romantic chamber works had opening movements of this length, and this easily has enough potential motives to build three or even four more movements from.

Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.
