The Piano Trio No.39 in G major, Haydn

-The Piano Trio No.39 in G major, Haydn-


The Piano trio was composed in 1795, during the final few weeks of Haydn's second trip to London.


Also, This piece is one of three works which were dedicated to Rebecca Schroeter. 


It's perhaps his best-known Piano trio, and it's named "Gypsy Rondo Trio" as a nickname because of the Rondo Finale of Hungarian Style".



Structure


The structure of this trio is in three movements.


1. Andante

2. Poco Adagio, Cantabile

3. Rondo all'Ongarese - Presto


First, the first movement is blended of double variation and Rondo for the two minor sections. Also, the alternation of variations in major and minor keys is characteristic of Haydn's movement.


Next, the second movement continues the gentle mood, and it is noted for the violin melody in the central section.


Finally, the final movement incorporates a number of Gypsy tunes and Gypsy effects, including the Hungarian "recruiting dance" genre that is known as Verbunkos.
