149. Keeping us fresh since 1784: Haydn, Piano trio No.19

Meeting his boss's insatiable desire for new content 'forced' [his word] Joseph Haydn to write original, inventive music that sounds as fresh and full of life today as when it was written. And he wrote so much great music that I only heard this piano trio for the first time this week - and it's wonderful stuff.

Listening time 19 mins (podcast 6', music 13')

 

The music is here, played by the incomparable Beaux Arts Trio on Youtube and Spotify. If you're listening on Apple or Amazon you need a link for each movement/ track:
