The Piano Trios,not widely known although mature and musically on par with anything in Haydn's output.Possible reason for the relative neglect of these Trios is advertised in the titles under which most of them appeared: typcially Haydn called them Sonata for Pianoforte or Harpsichord with (Accompaniment of) Violin and Violoncello. (Exceptions-No.2,originally a Divertimento,H XIV 2, for Claiver,Baryton and 2 Violins,Baryton Trio HXI 103 and Baryton Duo H XII 13.No.15,16,17-Flute alternative to violin)It is true that the cello parts in most of the Trios are of such a subordinate nature,one thinks almost of their earlier role as abss-line supports in Baroque trio sonatas
Landon, pp.430
Subtle difference(between Haydn's DM piece with earlier Eflat(36)): Between fz(forzato) and the accent, of which the latter palys an ever more important role in the musical syntax. Altogether, Haydn's trio style is now extremely personal, and brought with it a need for change in the syntax. Occasionally, one feels Haydn's inpiration stronger than can be contained in the traditional notation, especially in the works to follow the present set.
Landon, pp.434:
Haydn's philosophical attitude towards the minor key changed fundamentally from the great Sturm und Drang works of the late 1760s and early 1770s. In many of the works in minor of the 1780s and early 1790s seemed to betray the high principles of Haydn's first manhood, we must be reminded once again that by the 1780s Haydn was actively pursuing different aesthetic principlse than those which had guided him earlier, principles in which the wildly personal, eccentric and single minded energy of anno 1772 no longer had the same validity for its creator. But, Haydn changed again, and changed profoundly, in the London years, and the present F sharp minor Trio is a startling proof of that change..........blablabla
To do:
1)Find out sequence of trios written between 1794-1795
2)Choose 1 early trio for comparison
3)What is Strum Und Drung?
4)Compare or find similarities between the 3set of trios(Op.73)No.38Dmajor,No.39GMajor and No.40FSharp minor dedicated to Mrs Schroeter
5)Mention the trio group I have listened to and compare its performance?
