Beethoven's piano trios?

on: March 19, 2011, 02:27:53 PM

Which one is the easiest of beethoven's piano trios? I've heard it's no 1 from his first op, but i'm not sure though...

I have only played the Ghost Trio Op.70 No.1, and it was pretty straightforward. I would say the Beethoven's piano trios are rather generally straightforward to play.

Especially if you compare them to the massive trios like Tchaikovsky!

If you want really easy though, then Op.1 No.1 is quite easy.

Edit: I meant playing the trio has a whole, and not specifically referring to the piano parts. I was the cellist.

i played the op 11 in b flat (first movement only) for clarinet, cello, and piano. piano part was very doable, i thought i wouldn't be able to learn it but learned it in about two weeks (of course, i fibbed passages here and there).

Actually, I'm looking for a piano trio that has an "easy" piano part, because bothe the violinist and cellist are REAALLY good

OK - well try the one by Max Reger, then (Op. 102 for piano, violin and cello, not Op. 2 for piano, violin and viola, that is)...

Best,

I'll just say WOW, I loved it! but, did you find any recordings of this?? I didn't find any, and the cellist doesn't know how to read music sheet!
