String Trios (Schubert)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schubert around the time of the work's composition

Franz Schubert wrote three string trios, all of them in the key of B-flat major. From the first of these, D 111A, a trio Schubert wrote in 1814, only a few measures are extant.[1] The string trio D 471 consists of a completed first movement and an incomplete second movement, composed in 1816.[2] The last of these trios, D 581, was completed in four movements, exists in two versions and was composed in 1817.[3]

A few bars of an Allegro movement is all that is left of the string trio D 111A, composed in September 1814.[1] The fragment is printed in the New Schubert Edition.[2]

Schubert started composing this piece in September 1816, but only finished the first movement.[3] In 1890, this movement was the only content of Series VI, Trio für Streichinstrument of the Alte Gesamt-Ausgabe, and was as such republished by Dover Editions in 1965.[4] The second unfinished movement was first published in 1897, in the first volume of the Revisionsbericht of the Alte Gesamt-Ausgabe.[5]
