Composer: Bedřich Smetana (1824-1884) Editors: František Bartoš, Josef Plavec Format: Set of Parts Instrumentation: Piano Trio (Piano, Violin, Cello) Work: Piano Trio in G Minor, JB 1:64, Op. 15 Binding: ISMN: 9790260102910 Size: 9.6 x 12.2 inches Pages: 95 Urtext / Critical Edition Description In the context of his complete output, Bedřich 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 Bedřiška who died before her 5th birthday. Smetana ended the composition only three months after her death.
