The Baryton Trio in F major, H. 11/100, is a chamber music piece composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. It was composed in 1784 and premiered in the same year. The piece is written for baryton, viola, and cello, and consists of three movements. The first movement, marked Allegro moderato, is in sonata form. It begins with a lively and energetic theme played by the baryton, which is then echoed by the viola and cello. The development section explores the themes further, with each instrument taking turns to play the main theme. The movement ends with a recapitulation of the main theme. The second movement, marked Menuetto, is a traditional minuet and trio. The baryton takes the lead in the minuet section, with the viola and cello providing accompaniment. The trio section is more subdued, with the viola taking the lead and the baryton and cello providing a gentle accompaniment. The final movement, marked Presto, is a lively and energetic piece in rondo form. The baryton takes the lead in the main theme, which is then echoed by the viola and cello. The movement features a number of variations on the main theme, with each instrument taking turns to play the variations. The Baryton Trio in F major is a characteristic example of Haydn's chamber music style. It features a lively and energetic first movement, a traditional minuet and trio, and a lively and energetic final movement. The piece showcases the unique sound of the baryton, an instrument that was popular in the 18th century but has since fallen out of use. Overall, the Baryton Trio in F major is a charming and delightful piece of chamber music that showcases Haydn's skill as a composer.
