Piano Trio No. 3 (Dvořák)
Piano trio by Antonín Dvořák
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piano Trio No. 3 in F minor, Op. 65 (B. 130), is a piano trio by Antonín Dvořák.[1][2][3] As with the Scherzo capriccioso, the Hussite Overture, the Ballade in D minor, and the Seventh Symphony, composed in the same period, the work is written in a more dramatic, dark and aggressive style that supersedes the carefree folk style of Dvořák's "Slavonic period".[4]

Structure
History
Dvořák began writing out the piano trio in February 1883 and completed it on 31 March.[3] The premiere was held on 27 October 1883 at a concert in Mladá Boleslav; Dvořák himself played the piano part, with Ferdinand Lachner playing violin and Alois Neruda 'cello.[5] The piece was published shortly after by Simrock.[2]
Reception
Eduard Hanslick wrote in the Neue Freie Presse on 13 February 1884: "The most valuable gem brought to us amid the plethora of concerts in recent weeks is undeniably Dvorak’s new Piano Trio in F minor. It demonstrates that the composer finds himself at the pinnacle of his career."[6]
