Dvorak had an ambivalent relationship with Classical and Romantic traditions, something that is clearly exemplified in his piano trios. The Piano Trio in E minor, Op. 90 is a daring late work that uses popular moods and freer forms consisting of six Dumky - a melancholic and poetic musical form that draws from the composer inexhaustible melodic creativity. The Piano Trio in F minor, Op. 65 was influenced by the death of the composer's mother and also by Dvorak having heard Brahms' Piano Quintet, Op. 34, a work composed in the same key. Cyclic elements and fiery drama permeate the writing.
