The Piano Trio in D major, Korpo, JS 209, is a three- movement chamber piece for violin, cello, and piano [1] written in the summer of 1887 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The trio derives its nickname from Korpo ( Finnish: Korppoo), an island located in the Turku archipelago, at which the Sibelius family vacationed in 1887. It is Sibelius's third, and most significant, piano trio. [2]

Structure

The D major trio is in three movements, as follows:

  1. Allegro moderato
  2. Fantasia. Andante – Andantino –
  3. Finale. Vivace

The Korpo Trio remains in manuscript. [3]
