Piano Trios, Op. 1 (Beethoven)

The first trio is in four movements: The first movement opens with an ascending arpeggiated figure (a so-called Mannheim Rocket, like that opening the first movement of the composer's own Piano Sonata No.1, Op.2 No.1), ==No. 2 in G major==

The second trio is in four movements: ==No. 3 in C minor==

The third trio is in four movements: 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. ==References==
