Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Trios, Volume III
In the Classical period, and well into the 19th century, piano trios were something of a musical fashion accessory. There was thus good reason for Beethoven also to engage with the genre, following the example set by Haydn and Mozart. He left 13 piano trios in all.
The works contained in Volume III almost all present a few peculiarities: opus 44 is also not a complete trio, for instance, but consists of only one single variation movement! WoO 37, written while Beethoven was still in Bonn, is striking for its scoring (piano, flute and bassoon). He wrote WoO39 for Maximiliane, youngest daughter of the Brentano family, “to encourage her piano playing”. Op. 38 is an arrangement of the Septet op. 20 for piano, clarinet and violoncello, and the last piece has come down to us only in one sketchbook from Beethoven’s Bonn period. None of these works has the weight of Beethoven’s major piano trios; nevertheless, they remain witnesses to his supeme artistry.

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.

Die handliche Studien-Ausgabe ermöglicht nicht nur das Mitlesen und Studieren der Trios nach dem Urtext. Da dennoch das Druckbild klar und großzügig ist, könnte der Klavierpart auch anhand der Studienausgabe einstudiert werden. Eine für die wissenschaftliche wie praktische Arbeit gleichermaßen geeignete Ausgabe.
Das MusikinstrumentHenle maakt niet alleen goed leesbare bladmuziek, maar excelleert ook in compacte studiepartituren. Het aandachtig doorlezen en bestuderen van de notentekst is immers van even groot belang als het overwinnen van de technische moeilijkheden van een compositie. En hierin komt Henle je tegemoet met een handig formaat Urtext studiepartituren. ... Ondanks het kleinere formaat blijft de bladspiegel volkomen helder en overzichtelijk. Vingerzettingen, historisch voorwoord en kritisch commentaar complementeren deze uitgaven. Tip: lees tijdens een treinreis eens wat anders dan de krant en neem deze prachtige muziekliteratuur mee. Lees Bach, u zult tot rust komen en genieten!
