Piano Trio in Czech Chamber Music
Pichlíková, Markéta ; Tomášek, Jiří (advisor) ; Perglerová, Marka (referee)
Author's precis The aim of this thesis is to survey the history of piano trio, a chamber ensemble, which has since its very beginnings existed in the shadow of more famous string quartet. No works of literature seem to pay as much attention to the piano trios as to the string quartets. It is also appropriate to analyse the origin and history of the oldest ensemble of this type in Czech, to introduce a list of other contemporary piano trios in our country and give some additional information about them such as short biographies of their members, their history and their concert tours. The first part of this work deals with the origin of chamber music, its development and significance. We will describe a trio as a kind of chamber music composition which has developed from trio sonata and is one of the major types of baroque music.

The most contributing to the process of its formation were the works of J. Haydn, W. A. Mozart and L. v. Beethoven. Romantic composers use this genre to express their innermost feelings and add to it an entirely new point of view. After this period we get to the 20th century, the time when all all kinds of...

We will concentrate on the history of the trio, developed from trio sonata that become the principal chamber type during baroque. At the turn of 18th and 19th century we can see its present form. It became one of the most popular musical forms, taking an important place in the work of all four "Viennese classics". We can find some occasional piano trios from Haydn and Mozart, composed primarily for the purpose of private conduction of music. Piano trios of L. v. Beethoven and F. Schubert however present a decisive step in the direction of artistic originality. Mature work of these authors represents zenith of the genre, successfully maintained later on by Schumann, Brahms, Dvořák, Smetana and other romantic representatives, who were using the form as ideal means to convey the most internal of their feelings. Meeting of three completely different instruments allows the composers to merge...
