- Ludwig van Beethoven (baptised 17 December 1770 - 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire, and span the transition from the classical period to the romantic era in classical music. His career has conventionally been divided into early, middle, and late periods. The "early" period, during which he forged his craft, is typically considered to have lasted until 1802. From 1802 to around 1812, his "middle" period showed an individual development from the "classical" styles of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and is sometimes characterized as "heroic". During this time, he began to suffer increasingly from deafness. In his "late" period from 1812 to his death in 1827, he extended his innovations in musical form and expression.

Grumiaux Trio
Beethoven's trios for violin, viola, and cello remain among his least-played works. They seem to point back to the occasional chamber music of the Classical period, and if they're not given the proper attention, that's exactly what they do. But Beethoven himself thought enough even of the very early String Trio in E flat major, Op. 3 (1794), to supervise a keyboard arrangement of the work in the 1810s, and the Op. 9 set heard here, composed in 1798, is almost as ambitious as the group of Op. 18 string quartets that followed it by about a year, and for which it can be seen as a kind of study.
Details by Robert Cummings:
The first movement of the C minor Trio is marked Allegro con spirito and begins with a four-note scale played by all three instruments. This unison opening seems to set the egalitarian pattern for the instruments, as none of the three is allowed a dominant role in the movement. The four-note motif appears throughout the movement, perhaps most dramatically to launch the development section, where it is heard in emphatic chords. The movement's thematic wares are developed here and the mood intensifies. The four-note theme appears as it did at the outset to initiate the reprise. The development and recapitulation are repeated and a vigorous coda closes the movement.
The second movement is marked Adagio con espressione and is somewhat dark and melancholy, containing elements of struggle and doubt, especially in the middle section. There are two themes, the latter of which is serene but tinged with a sorrowful aura. As suggested, the middle section features great intensity and a sense of struggle, with the music seeming to cry out in places. The themes return and the music ends quietly.
The third movement Scherzo is marked Allegro molto e vivace. The main theme has an anxious, rather typically Beethovenian hurried quality about it. But there is also something painful and agitated about its character. The trio section in contrast is reserved and nonchalant. The thematic material is reprised and the movement ends with a brilliant coda whose dynamics gradually soften to a whisper at the close.
The finale is a Rondo, marked Presto. In the first of the Op. 9 Trios, the G major, Beethoven broke with his own tradition of always making his Presto finales a Rondo. Here, he rehabilitates it with this movement, whose demeanor is driving and restless in the main theme, perhaps suggestive of darker elements. A second theme is presented that maintains the anxious, somewhat uncertain mood. The development section features some playfulness in the handling, especially of the main theme. The recapitulation follows but with many changes in the previous materials, and the work concludes with a coda whose pianissimo ending is brilliantly-wrought.
The C minor Trio was first published along with its Op. 9 siblings in Vienna in 1798, carrying a dedication to one of the composer's patrons, Count Johann Georg von Browne, an officer in the Russian Army. A typical performance of the C minor Trio lasts between twenty and twenty-five minutes. - Hudba

As a professional cellist for over 40 years, all I can ask is -
In the slow movement here, how could he conceive something THIS beautiful?
I'm in awe....
I think the string trios are among the most accomplished and beautiful of Beethoven's early works. I adore them, and I adore that they give such glory to this shamefully neglected genre.
A little known masterpiece, played masterfully
I love this performance 💎
Muchas gracias por subir estos trios. Excelentes composiciones e interpretaciones. Una delicia y un placer escucharlos
@pilarserrano8470 -- BRAVO desde Acapulco!
0:00 allegro
8:20 adagio con expressione
15:15 scherzo
18:15 finale presto
La perfection !
I find the string trios more appealing overall than any of the op. 18 string quartets.
Definitely, same here.
honestly
I was wondering where I could get the music for allegro con spirito
imslp
And it's free. through the IMSLP site.
Why does Wikipedia list Beethoven's Op. 9 as:
String Trio No. 3 in G major, Op. 9 No. 1
String Trio No. 4 in D major, Op. 9 No. 2
String Trio No. 5 in C minor, Op. 9 No. 3
But you've got them listed as
String Trio No. 2, Op. 9 No. 1
String Trio No. 3, Op 9 No. 2
String Trio No. 4, Op 9 No. 3
From what I can tell, his String Trio No. 2 is his Op. 8, also known as Serenated for String Trio, and Op. 9 is String Trios 3, 4 and 5.
recognize the finale? xD
the beggining has some kind of rythmic connection with mozart's divertimento for string trio K 563
K 563 qui est transparent derrière les opus 3 et 8 de beethoven
