Piano Quartets
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Robert Schumann & Isaac Stern & Yo‐Yo Ma & Emanuel Ax & Jaime Laredo
Piano Quartets (WoO 36) are a set of three piano quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1785. These early Classical chamber works pair a piano-centred texture with violin, viola and cello, using concise classical forms and harmonic language that foreshadow elements of Beethoven's later chamber music.
