The Piano Trio in D major, Korpo, JS 209, is a three-movement chamber piece for violin, cello, and piano[1] written in the summer of 1887 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The trio derives its nickname from Korpo (Finnish: Korppoo), an island located in the Turku archipelago, at which the Sibelius family vacationed in 1887. It is Sibelius's third, and most significant, piano trio.[2]
Structure
The D major trio is in three movements, as follows:
- Allegro moderato
- Fantasia. Andante – Andantino –
- Finale. Vivace
The Korpo Trio remains in manuscript.[3]
