Ludwig van Beethoven
String Trios and String Duos
As the opus numbers suggest, the five string trios are relatively early works. Beethoven had sent opus 3 to print in early 1796, and in the same year, he began his compositional work on the Serenade op. 8, which was then followed by the three Trios op. 9. This marked the definitive close of Beethoven’s work on this genre. Nevertheless, the five pieces are thoroughbred Beethoven and often played to this day. Also included in the volume is the piece designated in the autograph as “Duet for two obbligato eye-glasses” that Beethoven had apparently written for two myopic friends.
About the Composer
Ludwig van Beethoven
No composer has had as profound and sustained an influence on immediately following generations to the present day as Beethoven. His instrumental music, especially his symphonies, served as touchstones for symphonic composition throughout the nineteenth century. The extraordinarily high standard of his music and his relative independence as a freelance composer have led to his being characterized as the greatest composer of all time.
