Clarinet Trios in B Flat Major op. 11 / in A minor op. 114

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Johannes Brahms & Kálmán Berkes & Miklós Perényi & Zoltán Kocsis

Clarinet Trios in B-flat major, Op. 11, and in A minor, Op. 114, are chamber works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1798 and 1814 respectively. They are scored for clarinet, cello and piano and contrast the early Op. 11, with its variation-based structures and Classical clarity, against the later Op. 114, which adopts a more introspective tone and expanded harmonic language that deepens the conversational interplay among the three instruments and reflects developments in Beethoven's chamber writing.
