Complete String Trios (parts) by Ludwig van Beethoven
Edited by Ferdinand David, new edition by Carl Hermann and Paul Grummer. Published by C.F. Peters
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was the most influential and admired composer of the Romantic Era, and is considered today to be among the greatest composers of classical music to ever live. His music is known variously for its compositional rigor, sublime beauty, organic development, gripping urgency, and life-affirming, universal humanism. He left a significant mark on almost every classical genre he worked in, from string quartets to symphonies.
Beethoven's five string trios are relatively early, classical works, all composed in a space of about two years, from 1797-99. Though light and resembling divertimentos, they are Beethoven thru and thru. This C.F. Peters collection also includes the charming Serenade, Op.25 for flute, violin, and viola. Originally edited by Ferdinand David, this new edition comes from Carl Hermann and Paul Grummer. Advanced level, grade 5.
