A "pezzo elegiaco" highlights an A minor work in this genre memorializing Nikolay Rubinstein, the only exception to Tchaikovsky's notable distaste for this kind of work. An atypical variant on this type of composition by Bela Bartok was commissioned by Benny Goodman and called Contrasts. That piece was inspired by a similarly atypical E-flat work by Mozart with a title evoking a game of skittles, the "Kegelstatt." Pieces of this type by their most notable composer include a blending of early and late styles called the "Kakadu Variations" and a D major work drawing from that man's Second Symphony, nicknamed "Ghost." Other examples of this genre include a six-movement piece written before its composer departed Bohemia for America and a work dedicated to Rudolph of Austria. For 10 points, identify this musical genre whose examples include Dvorak's Dumky and Beethoven's Archduke, which usually feature violin, cello, and a keyboard instrument.

piano trios [prompt on partial answer; accept "clarinet trios" after "Goodman" is read (since Contrasts is for piano, violin, and clarinet and the Kegelstatt Trio is for piano, viola, and clarinet)]
