With this second installment of their complete recording of Beethoven's piano trios, the Busch Trio demonstrates the astonishing variety that the composer was able to develop from an ensemble of just three instruments. The Trio in G major, begun in 1793, is the second of the three works published in Vienna as Opus 1. The Trio in E flat major, WoO 38, was composed in Bonn in 1790-1791 and is unusual for its three movements in the same key without a slow movement; the charming Allegretto is evidence of the experimenting young Beethoven. The Allegretto in B flat major, WoO 39, takes us back to the time of the famous 'Archduke Trio'. The work concludes with the Variations in E flat major op. 44 on arias from a little-known opera by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf. "When practising, rehearsing and performing Beethoven's works, it is impossible not to be moved by joy, courage and a love of life and humanity," sum up the musicians of the Busch Trio.
