Piano Trio No.38 in D major, Hob. XV 24, Haydn

 - Piano Trio No.38 in D major, Hob. Xv:24 (Haydn)-


This Concerto was written in 1795. During Haydn's second trip to London, one of a set of three (H. XV:24-26) dedicated to Haydn's friend, the widow Rebecca Schroeter.


According to Robert Philip, this work is unusual compared with other later piano trios in that it is serious in tone throughout, "with almost Beethoven-like earnestness". 


The style of piano writing, with the rich chords, octaves in the bass and lively elaboration in the right hand, was much influenced by the sonorous while Haydn was in London.



Structure


The trio has three movements.


1. Allegro

2. Andante

3. Allegro, ma non dolce


The first movement is a large scale movement that is full of dramatic pauses, changes of mood and unexpected accents.  


Also, The second is a brief and solemn dance, based around an insistent Baroque style dotted rhythm figure. It leads into the finale without a break.


The finale is a grave minuet like movement with the triple time. 


The work was published in October 1795 by the English firm of Longman and Broderip as part of a set of three with the opus number 73.
