The work was composed for the Haydn Chamber Ensemble commissioned by the Haydnfestspiele Eisenstadt (Kammermusikzyklus 2015). Supported by the Österreichisches Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur. Gerald Resch comments on “Sostenuto” as follows: “The Haydn Chamber Ensemble approached me with their request for a piano trio referring to the 'romantic' aspect of Joseph Haydn. His D-major Piano Trio, Hob.XV/24 is a wonderful example of how Haydn opened a door onto a new era during the last decade of his productivity. The initial impulse for 'Sostenuto' was my confrontation with Haydn's D-major Piano Trio.”.
