Trio Des Alpes - Anton�n Dvo?�k: Piano Trio No. 3, Op.65 & Piano Trio No. 4, Op.90 Dumky

Dvo?�k had an ambivalent relationship with Classical and Romantic traditions, something that is clearly exemplified in his piano trios. The Piano Trio in E minor, Op. 90 is a daring late work that uses popular moods and freer forms consisting of six Dumky � a melancholic and poetic musical form that draws from the composer inexhaustible melodic creativity. The Piano Trio in F minor, Op. 65 was influenced by the death of the composer�s mother and also by Dvo?�k having heard Brahms� Piano Quintet, Op. 34, a work composed in the same key. Cyclic elements and fiery drama permeate the writing.
