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.
