Opus 65-Dvo ák worked longer and more intensively on this Trio than on just about any other chamber music work. After his first successes with pieces inspired by Czech folk music namely the popular Slavonic Dances (HN 757 and918) he now wanted to prove himself as a composer of the highest order. This is why in the following summer he thoroughly reworked the Trio that he had written within eight weeks in spring 1883 before giving it to his publisher.Although Brahms? music was the undeniable model for the new work it did not hinder the unfolding of a very personal tone that blends expressiveness and passion. As with the ?Dumky? Trio op. 90 (HN 799) Andreas Groethuysen isonce again responsible for the fingerings of the Piano part.

Short Version-For Violin Cello and Piano. Composer's Notes 'Even though this work was intended to celebrate (as instructed by the commissioner Brolly Arts of Salt LakeCity) the wildlife and landscape of Utah (and especially its birdlife notably the sora which has a noticeable influence on the melodic writing at times) the title refers ironically in this 'natural' context to the re-seeing’of (mainly industrial) reality in early Soviet photography. Aleksandr Rodchenko (1881-1956) drew attention to the new type of photographer as someone who photographs 'facts' and who is able through photography to fight against'looking like art' with high quality examples and to do this you have to experiment going as far as the ‘easelisation’ of the photographic art.The work was written for and first performed by the Ahn Trio in November2004 in Salt Lake City and is dedicated to the memory of John Peel the British radio disc jockey who died during the final stages of its composition.' - Michael Nyman
