Prompt

Original piano trio movement (violin, cello, piano), Andante in B-flat major, 3/4. Ternary: violin sings an 8+8-bar period over piano chords with cello bass and later cello counterpoint in tenths. The B section in G minor gives the melody to the cello, with a violin descant and flowing piano eighths, then a violin climax on the Neapolitan (A-flat). Reprise with the cello taking the second phrase, and a quiet plagal coda with borrowed E-flat minor. About 2:35.
