The three works in the final concert are all exemplary – and thus classic – examples of the piano trio as a genre. The Trio in A flat major by Joseph Haydn, who had a significant influence on the genre with his approximately 40 trios, exemplifies Haydn's love of experimentation.
Bohuslav Martinů loved Haydn's music and took its forms as the starting point for his Trio in D minor, composed in 1950, whose final movement, in the style of a mostly cheerful perpetuum mobile, breathes the spirit of many of Haydn's final movements, while the first movement is dominated by a peculiar mystical nervousness, followed by a lament in the middle movement.
Antonín Dvořák's Trio in F minor is classical in form, following in the footsteps of his mentor Johannes Brahms (and thus Beethoven), although the scherzo with its Slavic dance theme, the Poco adagio with its folk song-like melodies and the final theme reminiscent of the Bohemian furiant in no way deny the work's origins.
