The Piano Trio No. 3, Op. 65, is considered the Dvořák trio closest to Brahms's language and German late Romanticism, yet it still incorporates nationalistic and popular accents.
Composition History
Dvořák's Piano Trio No. 3 in F minor, Op. 65, was composed in Prague between February and March 1883, and premiered with the composer at the piano on October 27 of the same year.
Compositional Technique
The 'Dumky' Trio, Op. 90, is named after 'Dumky,' the plural of 'Dumka,' a poetic and musical form meaning 'Meditation,' which is a ballade of elegiac and melancholic character, often with moments of lively folk dance.
Composer Biography
Antonín Dvořák composed four piano trios between 1875 and 1891, though he had previously written and later destroyed two others around 1871/72.
Performer Biography
The Trio des Alpes, featuring Hana Kotková (violin), Claude Hauri (cello), and Corrado Greco (piano), aims to blend distinct musical personalities into a single sound.
Composition History
The 'Dumky' Trio No. 4, Op. 90, composed between November 1890 and February 1891, belongs to Dvořák's final creative period, characterized by a liberation from Brahms's aesthetics and a more daring use of folk-infused language.
Composition History
The intensely expressive character of Dvořák's Piano Trio No. 3, Op. 65, was influenced by two events: the death of his mother and his acquaintance with Johannes Brahms's Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34.
