Structure


It has four movements:

  1. Allegro con fuoco (G minor)
  2. Scherzo: Vivace (G major)
  3. Adagio sostenuto (E-flat major)
  4. Finale: Allegretto (G minor)

A typical performance lasts approximately 25–27 minutes.

It is the only work by Chopin that features the violin (excluding orchestral parts) — an instrument to which he was somewhat indifferent, as reflected in the relative lack of sophistication of the violin parts.[1][2] In a letter to his friend Tytus Woyciechowski dated 31 August 1830,[lower-alpha 1] Chopin speculates whether he should have written the violin line for viola, believing that the viola's timbre would "accord better with the cello".[3] Emanuel Ax is of the opinion that it is perhaps fortunate that Chopin scored the work for a standard piano trio, since so few trios with viola exist.[4][1][2]
