Longer than themovement that had introduced the earlier piano trio, and of greater harmoniccomplexity, this opening is followed by a C minor slow movement with a melodythat Schubert's friend Sonnleithner identified as a Swedish folk-song Se solen sjunker. The first movement starts with an immediate call to our attentionand a first subject of dramatic outline is followed by a more lyrical secondtheme, introduced by the cello, closely followed by the violin. A work that Schumann found more spirited, masculine and dramatic in tone thanthe earlier work, for which he expressed a general preference, was firstperformed at the private party in January 1828 to celebrate the engagement ofSchubert's school-friend Josef von Spaun and formed part of the later publicconcert in March.
