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[edit]

The composition consists of four movements in the classical tradition:

1. Allegro ma non troppo (F minor)
2. Allegretto grazioso – Meno mosso (C♯ minor)
3. Poco adagio (A♭ major)
4. Finale. Allegro con brio (F minor)

A typical performance takes approximately 39 minutes.[2]

## History[edit]

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. The piece was published shortly after by Simrock.[2]

## Reception[edit]

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."[5]
