Trio in C Major for Violin, Violoncello and Piano, Op. 29 Dora Pejacevic

Edition type: score, violin part, violoncello part

The second Trio in C Major for Violin, Violoncello and Piano, Op. 29 (1910) is a mature composition, with well-formed chamber texture and style. The force of thematic and motivic concentration is impressive, especially in the first and final movements. A short punctuated motif is particularly emphasised and used many times over, like an obsessive repetition. In the development parts, the polyphonic texture and density of the sound are allied with harsh harmonies and unexpected intervals: the expression transcends the level of the external attractiveness of the musical idiom. The piano is often used as the central instrument and starting-point of events; the saturated sonority and the colourfully used chromatics denote its texture, also permeated with elements of virtuosity.
