Joseph Haydn's Piano Trio No. 40 in F♯ minor, Hob. XV:26, was completed during the final few weeks of Haydn's second trip to London, and one of a set of three (H. XV:24–26) dedicated to Rebecca Schroeter. With its unusual key, this piano trio has been described by Robert Philip as "subtle and shifting in its moods". The trio is in three movements. 1. * Allegro 2. * Adagio cantabile 3. * Finale. Tempo di menuetto The first movement begins quietly in its melancholy minor key, recalling Haydn's Sturm und Drang period of the 1770s, but it soon shifts to the major.
