The Piano Trio No. 3 in G minor by Robert Schumann was written in 1851, and is his opus 110\. It has four movements:

1. Bewegt, doch nicht zu rasch in G minor, in 6
8 time (with tempo dotted quarter notes 63 to the minute). In sonata form.
2. Ziemlich langsam in E-flat major, in 12
8 time and tempo 116 eighth notes to the minute.
3. Rasch in C minor, in 2
4 time and 138 quarter notes to the minute. A scherzo with two trios, with a tempo marking of Etwas zurückhaltend bis zm langsameren Tempo leading into the first trio, in C major with an upward chromatic theme, and a second trio in A-flat major which is more markedly rhythmic and diatonic in character.
4. Kräftig, mit Humor in G major, in common (4
4) time and 104 quarter notes to the minute. There is a prominent episode in this rondo which quotes the C major trio from the scherzo (now in D major).

The work was written in Düsseldorf, and first rehearsed there in mid-November 1851. It was first performed publicly in Leipzig in 1852 and dedicated to Niels Gade.[1] It was not given its first Carnegie Hall performance in New York City until 1958, by the Trio di Bolzano.

This year 1851 was a busy one for Schumann, in which he also revised his 1841 symphony in D minor, and wrote his Violin Sonatas #1 & #2, a number of songs and choral works including Der Rose Pilgerfahrt, and also composed his overtures Julius Caesar and Hermann und Dorothea.
