1 hour 15 minutes, no intermission
Beethoven’s remarkably brilliant Opus 1 shows that the 25-year-old composer was a true master of dramatic musical form. This third piano trio of Opus 1, composed in C minor, Beethoven’s preferred key for his most impassioned outpourings, already reveals a startlingly original musical imagination.
