The present study deals with a heretofore unresearched early version of Dvořák’s Trio in B Flat Major, Op. 21. It is based on both the investigation of new sources and the study of correspondence and the period press. It focuses on the circumstances of the work’s composition and its reception in its early version. It introduces sources of the early version, which have previously escaped the attention of scholars, and it compares the early version to the work’s definitive form, as it is known from the first printed edition of 1880.
