Frantisek Jan Skroup (b. 1801 - 1862) is known to the public first and foremost as the composer of the Czech national anthem. He was also music director of the Estates Theater in Prague during 1837-57 where he conducted major works from the international opera repertoire and composed a series of works. Taken from his small lesser known output of chamber music, the Trio in E-flat major is being published for the first time in Urtext edition.

The Trio in E-flat major is dedicated to the pianist and composer Sigismond Goldschmidt. It is stylistically reminiscent of Beethoven's chamber music; its unison opening recalls, for example, Beethoven's famous Gassenhauer Trio. The composition can be performed in two different scorings and will be appreciated by the professional as well as amateur players.
