Trio for Violin, Violoncello and Piano was premiered in Prague in its original version by the Dvorak Trio on 15 October 1973. Later, the composer arranged the violin part for flute at the request of the English flautist Evelyn Frank, introducing only minor alterations. This version had its premiere in London on 16 April 1995. The composition's main features include a chromatic and freely dodecaphonic structure, a lively pulsating rhythm and a clear, formal layout for all the four movements. The work's uniform concept culminates in the final movement, the thematic basis of which is created from the first and second themes of the first movement, along with a reminder of the main theme in the second movement prior to the energetic and rhythmical conclusion of the piece. <br><br>
