The second movement is very romantic sounding and full of pathos, sometimes avant garde. Very interesting with plethora of emotions and unresolvedness. Mozart's style combines the popular aspect as well as romantic aspects.
Beautiful score to study for composing a trio. Its such another world from quartet because of the missing 4th instrument...Each instrument essentially takes turns leaving its 'home' register to imply another voice, and very few rests! It's an ensemble for virtuosi.
It achieves many of its effects by being more contrapuntal than a 4tet. Very demanding to write for, Baroque ensembles were generally backed up by an instrument capable of chords. Only really amazing intonation makes this piece. I wonder if they were a violin short when he was writing it...
@@eduardoguerraavila8329 But Beethoven's op.3 is indebted to this piece is many ways, and it still doesn't have the same economy of phrasing, equality between all three instruments(there are more sections in Beethoven's op.3 where one or more instruments don't play anything for many measures), and finally, it's missing all the masterful counterpoint that this piece has.
Seriously? The later quartets, the 40th, 29, and 41st symphonies, late piano sonatas, piano concertos 20-27, violin sonatas, violin concertos, fantasies?
No comparisons but this piece is remarkable. Mozart was a melodist from his operatic background. He was also versed int the intricacies of developmental modulations. Just listen to the development in the first movement.It moves to Eb but the journey is so wonderful to figure out . He uses sequences and chromatic scales to get where he wants to go.
We know from his letters that Mozart thought a lot about death. I want this performance of the Adagio played at my memorial service. It contains all the beauty and pain of life, and ends with the soul's ascent to God.
The height of chamber music as conversation. The musical material is outwardly simple, but the way the instruments interact with each other is incredible...
4:51 is when Mozart makes his mark. In a so called polite music often we come across these passages when music becomes profound. There are similar surprises in all of his music.
Absolutely sublime, and wonderful to be able to follow the score. The Grumiaux Trio play with authority and sensitivity conveying the majesty or the music. Thanks a million for sharing.

@@bartjebartmans oh, as some channels have all of their videos with advertisements, I thought It was the channel the one that decides!! Sorry for my wrong knowledge, thanks for answer!
I played recently parts of this piece and som of KV 404a - it is very interesting to see how Mozart learnd from arranging Bach pieces for string trio. The opening adagio of 404a where he tries to deal with some of the new ideas is not working out perfectly what is very untypical for Mozart - but in this piece he has definitely mastered it!
A recording of this that was done by Gidon Kremer, Kim Kashkashian & Yo-yo Ma is the best recording I've heard. They absolutely captured the deep drama of this Divertimento - although this is played very well, I think its missing the drama of the other recording.
I am glad you think this is played very well. What is this "best" recording always about on UA-cam? Why? Enjoy this recording for it's merits and enjoy that you can read along. After all, that is the main reason why I post videos with scores.
well, what an severe answer to Mr ajax! he just posted his opinion in a educated way! I really love you channel by the way Bartje,. Although this is extremely well played, my favourite is stern-zukerman-rose, for they are not as free as kremer-kashkashian-ma in the way they play, and yet they put the "drama" in it.
Educated way? Comparing Grumiaux to Kremer is ridiculous to begin with. Complete different style of playing, tone and timbre. Now that is an educated observation. Are you the same guy as Mr. Ajax? Sounds like it.
Fabulous piece certainly not too long. Because of the depth and drama of the work the title: Divertimento is an understatement. The Grumiaux Trio...can this be done better...I don't think so...
I love the string trio. Without the 2nd violin, the viola, my favorite instrument, is more prominent. In addition to those composers mentioned by our esteemed poster, B.B., Schoenberg, Hindemith Francaix, Sibelius, Borodin, Penderecki, R. Strauss, Webern, E.J. Moeran, Hans Krasa (know him?) Martinu, Matjis Vermeulen, Gubaidulina, Villa-lobos, Jean Cras.and others contributed to the repertoire. (long list).(Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against quartets. Far from it.)
I love this recording, but if you have not heard it I also recommend listening to the old mono recording of this divertimento, with Frederick Riddle on viola, Jean Pougnet on violin, and Antony Pini on cello - the slow movement is incredible, and somehow it's even better in mono!!.
4:38 beginning of the development in the first movement. An incredible journey through different keys. Somewhat similar to the development in piano concerto no 17 first movement
+Bartje Bartmans may i ask where you got the informstion that this is public domain? as i am trying to use this for a non profit play i am directing, so i need to have a source stating this recording and not just the notes are under publuc domain. very much appreciated!
Most recordings on UA-cam are NOT in public domain, this one neither. Some companies allow it, add advertisements or don't even bother. Other companies would pull them down which could result in the termination of your channel. Which happened to me before.

+lykigos Where did he say that? On the contrary! Beethoven copied a passage from Mozart's 40th Symphony into the sketchbook he was using when he composed his Fifth Symphony, the third movement of which opens with a theme similar to one from the Mozart. Charles Rosen sees Mozart's C minor Piano Concerto, K. 491, as a model for Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto in the same key, the Quintet for Piano and Winds, K. 452, for Beethoven's quintet for the same instruments, Op. 16, and the A major String Quartet, K. 464, for Beethoven's A major String Quartet Op. 18 No. 5. Robert Marshall sees Mozart's C minor piano sonata, Piano Sonata No. 14 in C minor, K. 457, as the model for Beethoven's "Pathétique" sonata, Op. 13, in the same key. There is also a striking similarity between the beginning of the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 the "Moonlight" sonata and parts of the first Movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17.
+Bartje Bartmans Not to mention the cadenzas (WoO 58) to the first and third movements of Mozart's D minor piano concerto, K. 466, and four sets of variations on themes by Mozart:
"I have always reckoned myself among the greatest admirers of Mozart, and shall do so till the day of my death." Beethoven, February 6, 1786, in a letter to Abbe Maximilian Stadler. BOOOM!

Beautiful! More than 40 minutes of music and it never gets boring, always fresh and entertaining.

Completely agree, I'd like to compose something like this in the future
It achieves many of its effects by being more contrapuntal than a 4tet. Very demanding to write for, Baroque ensembles were generally backed up by an instrument capable of chords. Only really amazing intonation makes this piece. I wonder if they were a violin short when he was writing it...
Not even Mozart wrote a greater piece than this. It's perfection and sheer joy bring tears to one's eyes.
Try Beethoven string trio op.3

Gotta say, I remember this piece from music theory class 30 plus years ago. One of my favorites. Never gets old.
It is really this music so beautiful to the point that it is only a heavenly relaxing melody.It is marvellous and outstanding too.
