What does "Dumky" mean? And what's it doing in the title of Dvorak's Piano trio in E minor? Well, the Dumka was just one of many Slavic folk styles that Dvorak introduced into classical pieces during his career. It's a lament really - a short, melancholy piece in three parts: slow, fast, and slow. The amazing thing about Dvorak was his ability to put so much variety and inventiveness into the six "Dumky" in this piece. The Weilerstein Trio played it in our Studio One back in 2005.
