The C major Trio No. 27 is part of an opus of three piano trios that Joseph Haydn wrote during his second stay in England in 1795 and dedicated to Therese Jansen, an obviously excellent pianist considering the technical demands of these works. The virtuosity of the piano writing in the C major Trio is also remarkable. In the first movement it surprises with large gestures and strong forzato accents. The Andante relies on contrasts that point to Beethoven and the humorous Presto finale, a sonata rondo, gets its originality from the perfect balance of humor, dance rhythm and precise fluency.
