Ludwig van Beethoven

Piano Trio

Hess 47


Arrangement of String Trio Opus 3 (1st movement and fragment of 2nd movement)

Sometime prior to 1800, Beethoven arranged the first movement of the string trio, Op. 3 for piano, violin and cello (Hess 47): it has been speculated that the composer may have intended to transcribe the entire trio for the same forces but lost interest as the existing manuscript breaks off part way through a transcription of the second movement.
