PT Journal AU Stedronska, M TI On the Unity of the Sonata Cycle in the Piano Trio in G Minor, op. 15 by Bedrich Smetana and the Piano Trio in F Sharp Minor, op. 1, No. 1 by Cesar Franck SO Musicologica Olomucensia PY 2018 BP 91 EP 103 VL 27 IS 1 DI 10.5507/mo.2018.007 DE Bedrich Smetana; Piano trio g minor; comparative analysis; Cesar Franck AB Smetana's Piano trio in G minor ranks among the first elaborate works by its author, but was received with a critical distance from its very beginning. The study investigates the historical context of the trio's birth, and based on a comparative analysis, aims at emphasizing Smetana's original solution of the sonata cycle and the form in the scope of a chamber ensemble. In order to read the text, a simultaneous study of the scores of both these chamber works by Cesar Franck and Bedrich Smetana would be needed. ER
