Beethoven Piano Trios Vol. II Sheet Music – Complete Set of Parts

Overview

Explore the depth of Ludwig van Beethoven's chamber music with this second volume of his Piano Trios, meticulously edited by Günter Raphael and published by Henle Urtext Edition. This collection features pivotal works that showcase Beethoven's innovative contributions to the piano trio repertoire.

Included in this volume are the two Piano Trios Op. 70 and the renowned "Archduke" Trio Op. 97. The Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1, commonly known as the "Ghost" Trio, earned its nickname due to the eerie character of its slow movement. This movement's mysterious atmosphere has led to associations with supernatural themes.

The Trio in B-flat major, Op. 97, known as the "Archduke" Trio, was dedicated to Archduke Rudolph and stands as one of Beethoven's most significant compositions in this genre. With a duration exceeding 45 minutes, it is also his lengthiest piano trio.

Additionally, this volume includes the Variations in G major, Op. 121a, based on the song "Ich bin der Schneider Kakadu" ("I am the tailor Kakadu"), showcasing Beethoven's inventive approach to variation form.
