Of the four piano trios by Antonin Dvorak, Trio in F minor is the most romantic, passionate and, at the same time, the most sombre. Written in 1883, it reflects the tension, loss, hardship and struggle which Dvorak had to face during an oppressive time in his private and public life. The sheer depth and flawless expression, and the formal structure of this piece, rank the Piano Trio in F minor alongside the other masterpieces of Dvorak's chamber oeuvre.
