Piano Trio No. 2 (Dvořák)
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]
- Allegro moderato
- Largo
- Scherzo: Presto – Trio: Poco meno mosso – Presto da capo
- Allegro non tanto
