Robert Schumann described Schubert’s E flat Piano Trio as “spirited, masculine and dramatic” in contrast to his other more “passive, lyrical and feminine” work in the piano, violin and cello genre, the B flat.

The composition is in 4 movements.

I.   Allegro
II. Andante con moto
III. Scherzo: Allegro moderato
IV. Allegro moderato

Date: June 25 2020
