Beethoven - Three Piano Trio op.1

Beethoven

(17 December 1770 -- 26 March 1827)

 

Ludwig van Beethoven's Opus 1 is a set of three piano trios (written for piano, violin,

and violoncello), first performed in 1793 in the house of Prince Lichnowsky

Karl Alois, Prince Lichnowsky(1761~1814)

 

, to whom they are dedicated.  The trios were published in 1795(25세).

Despite the Op. 1 designation these were not Beethoven's first published compositions;

this distinction belongs to his Dressler Variations for keyboard (WoO 63).
