Trio Ondine

Details by Edition Silvertrust:
The trio is in three movements and shows the influence of the Vienna Classics. Nielsen recounted how he and his compadres would play the music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and one can hear their influence upon his writing. The trio's manuscript bears no tempo marking to the opening movement, although it is clearly music meant to be played at a quick tempo. It begins with three loud chords which are repeated frequently throughout the movement. The music sounds like a cross between Mozart and early Beethoven. The second movement is marked Andante. Here, the Op.1 trios of Beethoven come to mind, although Nielsen gives the strings better parts than Beethoven and piano in no way dominates affairs as it does in Beethoven's Op.1. The finale is marked Allegretto grazioso and is charming as well as graceful. Nielsen shows that he had a gift for melody.
