Beethoven Fortepiano Trios

Beethoven, Op. 1

Alan Choo, violin
Jaap ter Linden, cello
David Breitman, fortepiano

Take a musical journey and imagine yourself in 1795 Vienna, eager to experience the first published works, hot off the press, by the city’s sensational young pianist-composer.

Beethoven advertised his first published work—3 trios for piano, violin and cello—in May of 1795. For the price of one ducat, subscribers would receive their scores directly from the publisher two months before the music became available to the general public, at a higher price.

We invite you to marvel at Beethoven’s mastery of instrumental interplay, where lines mesh and balance perfectly and each trio reveals a distinct personality—all made exquisitely transparent on instruments resembling those for which the music was composed.
