  • "Ludwig van Beethoven's Opus 1 is a set of three piano trios (written for piano, violin, and cello), first performed in 1795 in the house of Prince Lichnowsky, to whom they are dedicated. The trios were published in 1795.
    Despite the Op. 1 designation, these trios were not Beethoven's first published compositions; this distinction belongs rather to his Dressler Variations for keyboard (WoO 63). Clearly he recognized these compositions as the earliest ones he had produced that were substantial enough (and marketable enough) to fill out a first major publication to introduce his style of writing to the musical public.
    Unlike the other piano trios in this opus, the third trio does not have a scherzo as its third movement but a minuet instead.
    This third piano trio was later reworked by Beethoven into the C minor string quintet, Op. 104"

    Pizzicato is not only a technique for chordal accompaniment, but the best solution for when you want to keep the instruments busy, avoiding total emptiness, but would be disturbed by the notes they play. Instruments are rarely solo here, and when they do it is for a more expressive moment. The II teach us these things.

      Not entirely; during the 1790’s - the years of the Opus 1 piano trios, Opus 2 piano sonatas, Opus 18 string quartets, and the 1st symphony - he was taking regular lessons in Vienna most obviously from Haydn and Albrechtsberger in counterpoint, and Salieri in Italian vocal music - there were others as well.

      They are not student pieces at all and nobody is suggesting they are; anything with an Opus number in Beethoven is very fine,* and there is virtually no immature (‘student’ music) at all post-1792 and his arrival in Vienna.
      However, as I made clear in my original post, Beethoven’s learning and study requirements lay in very particular areas, and his counterpoint had not really been brought up to standard by Neefe in Bonn before he came to Vienna (in spite of playing a lot of JS Bach) - hence the lessons needed from Haydn then Albrechtsberger, ditto his skills in Italian vocal music.
      Beethoven was not a complete composer in the early/mid-1790’s, that came later; none of that is an insult, it’s just explaining where he was at.
      * Apart of course from the two facile piano sonatas Opus 49 that were published behind Beethoven’s back.

      Basically, if it has an Opus number, Beethoven thought it was good enough to carry his name; this has, and is.
      The two little Sonates faciles for piano Opus 49 are just about the only exception to this, but they were sold to publishers behind Beethoven’s back by his brother, and about which he was very angry; Opus numbers were to be reserved for his best works only.

      Haydn thought the work might be too difficult for the public; in this he was probably mistaken.
      The other part of this story is Haydn allegedly telling Beethoven not to publish the c minor trio, Opus 1 No 3.
      It has now been established that when Beethoven played the trios to Haydn in August 1795 - immediately after his return from the second visit to England - *the trios had already been published* - so Haydn telling him not to publish them cannot be right, and is clearly nonsense.
      I think it is also worth pointing out that Haydn arrived in England on 1 January 1791 and remained there for 18 months; he then spent the whole of 1794 and half of 1795 in England on his second trip.
      During the period in-between he was largely at the Eszterhazy palace at Eisenstadt; in short, I think it likely that Haydn was out-of-touch with the Viennese scene having been so immersed in that of London for the 1791, 1792, 1794, and 1795 seasons - hence his unnecessary concern over the trio’s possible adverse reception.
      (Beethoven played the three Opus 1 trios to Haydn within days of his return to Vienna in August 1795).
      There are always difficulties with translation, but I think you will find that Haydn said that he *would have advised* Beethoven not to publish the trio…, rather than the version often used in English that he told him *not* to publish the trio; there is a big difference.
      If you wish to know more, a great examination of the actual facts - rather than spurious hearsay - is James Webster’s study ‘The Falling-out between Haydn and Beethoven’ which can be found on the internet.
      Modern Beethoven biographies, and HC Robbins Landon’s five volume biography of Haydn (Volume 3), also cover this story far better than the older Beethoven biographies which rely too much on unreliable, and sometimes very dubious, spurious, and apocryphal 19th century evidence.
      Additionally, many of these 19th century sources told the story entirely from Beethoven’s point of view using stories only from Beethoven’s circle, with almost no attempt to understand what Haydn was trying to say - they instead almost all focus on Beethoven’s dismay and frustration at his misunderstanding of what Haydn said.
      Almost all the sources quoted in the early Beethoven biographies were *not* written down contemporaneously, but retold years later, and then written down much later still, often after Beethoven’s death with all the adverse consequences of fading memories over many years.
      For a variety of reasons as explained above, a number of these early sources therefore clearly need to be treated with some caution.
      I have written some more detailed explanations if interested on some of the other UA-cam performances of this great trio.
      Hope that helps!

    The third variation from the second movement seems to foreshadow the style of Beethoven's later piano sonatas. I couldn't but notice how similar it is to the third variation from the third movement of the Op. 109 sonata.

    • @Joe_Yacketori

      Nice observation! This variation resembles the third variation of op. 109 in style, but I think a key difference between the two is that, in op. 109, the left and right hand alternate which one plays the 16th notes a few times, and the two parts sort of coalesce. In the third variation here, in op. 1, the bass part seems more improvisational and less interconnected to the right hand part, and it kinda reminds me of basso continuo.
      So that's my main takeaway from this, it's very very similar to op. 109, but Beethoven had a lot to refine and master still.
      In my opinion, the third variation here in op. 1 no. 3 always reminded me of op. 26; not in the way it sounds, but in the way it foreshadowed his late period. Both pieces give hints of the thought process behind late Beethoven, but they still have the aural qualities of the early period.
