Piano Trios, op. 1 no. 2, op. 97 “Archduke”
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Gryphon Trio
Piano Trios, Op. 1 No. 2 and Op. 97 'Archduke' is a collection of piano trios by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1795 and 1811 respectively. Op. 1 No. 2 is in the early Classical style with balanced sonata forms and close dialogue between piano and strings, while Op. 97 belongs to Beethoven's middle period and has broader structures, denser textures and a more prominent piano role that signal his move toward larger-scale chamber writing.
