Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Cinco tríos con piano. Opus11, 44 121a y WoO 38 y 39.
Beethoven's musical genius extended to every type of music he wrote-from piano sonatas to orchestral overtures, from symphonies to chamber music. In the latter genre, his brilliance is nowhere more apparent or rewarding than in his marvelous compositions for piano trio (piano with violin and cello).
This volume contains five piano trios-Opp. 11,44, 121a and WoO 38 and 39- reproduced from authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel scores. This inexpensive, high-quality edition offers all music lovers an opportunity to add an important new set of the master's works to their music library of fine scores.
