Piano Trio No. 2 (Dvořák)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Antonín Dvořák's Piano Trio No. 2 in G minor, Op. 26 (B. 57), is a chamber composition, written in 1876.[1] The trio was written shortly after the death of his eldest daughter Josefa, and although Dvorak never wrote that the piece was intended as a memorial it is generally regarded as such.[2] The Presto - Trio movement foreshadows the more well-known Slavonic Dances.[3]

Structure

The composition consists of four movements in the classical tradition:[4]

  1. Allegro moderato
  2. Largo
  3. Scherzo: Presto – Trio: Poco meno mosso – Presto da capo
  4. Allegro non tanto
