The Piano Trio in C major, Lovisa, JS 208, is a three-movement chamber piece for violin, cello, and piano[3] written in the summer of 1888 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The trio derives its nickname from Lovisa (in Finnish: Loviisa), the municipality in which the composer's aunt (and, before her death, his paternal grandmother) lived; Sibelius summered there in 1888.[4]

Structure

[edit]

The C major trio is in three movements, as follows:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante
  3. Lento – Allegro con brio

The Lovisa Trio was published posthumously in 1991 by Fazer Music [fi].[1]
