In the context of his complete output, Bedrich Smetana’s chamber music has generally been felt to be of lesser importance. However, the modest number of works is deceptive; Smetana took a keen interest in the interpretation and study of chamber music throughout his  life. His own  compositions were without exception unusual works, which was already evident in  the “Piano  Trio in G minor” of 1855. He wrote this in memory of his daughter  Bedriska  who died before  her 5th birthday. Smetana ended the composition only three months after her  death.<br>
