Description
František Škroup is known to the public first and foremost as the composer of the Czech national anthem. He was also music director of the Estates Theater in Prague during 1837-57 where he conducted major works from the international opera repertoire and composed a series of works.
The Trio in E-flat Major is dedicated to the pianist and composer Sigismond Goldschmidt. It is stylistically reminiscent of Beethoven's chamber music; its unison opening recalls, for example, Beethoven's famous "Gassenhauer Trio". Skroup dedicated the "Trio facile" to Jeanette Hoffmann, the daughter of the Prague publisher Johann Hoffmann.
As the title suggests, this is an accessible piece in the Biedermeier style which was intended for music making in the home and for lessons.
