Beethoven - Piano Trios - Vol. 9 / Complete Beethoven Edition / Deutsche Grammophon 5x Audio CD Stereo / 453 751-2 UPC 028945375120 // Ludwig van Beethoven (/ˈlʊdvɪɡvænˈbeɪtoʊvən/, German: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːtˌhoːfn̩]; 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. His 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 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 1827, he extended his innovations in musical form and expression. A piano trio is a group of piano and two other instruments, usually a violin and a cello, or a piece of music written for such a group. It is one of the most common forms found in classical chamber music. The term can also refer to a group of musicians who regularly play this repertoire together; for a number of well-known piano trios, see below. The term "piano trio" is also used for jazz trios, where it most commonly designates a pianist accompanied by bass and drums, though guitar or saxophone may figure as well. /// Label: Deutsche Grammophon – 453 751-2 Series: Complete Beethoven Edition – Vol. 9 Format: 5 x CD, Compilation, Stereo Country: Europe Released: Genre: Classical Style: Romantic // Tracklist: Trio In E-flat Major, Op. 1, No. 1 (31:35) 1-1 Allegro 10:50 1-2 Adagio cantabile 7:35 1-3 Scherzo.
