Structure
The piano trio contains four movements:
I. Allegro
The first movement is in
II. Andante con moto
The second movement takes an asymmetrical double ternary form. The principal theme is inspired by the Swedish folk song Se solen sjunker, which the composer had heard in the Fröhlich sisters' house, sung by the tenor Isak Albert Berg.[3]
III. Scherzo: Allegro moderato
The scherzo is an animated piece in standard double ternary form.
IV. Allegro moderato
The finale is in sonata rondo form. Schubert also includes in two interludes the opening theme of the second movement in an altered version.[4] Schubert also made some cuts in this finale, one of which includes the second-movement theme combined contrapuntally with other material from the finale.
