<p>First, a preview of Beethoven&#39;s penchant for composing dramatic, tempestuous works in C minor, followed by one of Schubert&#39;s most popular chamber music pieces.</p>

<p>While some noblemen during Ludwig van Beethoven&#39;s (1770-1827) era had large orchestras, most preferred smaller ensembles. One such nobleman was Prince Karl von Lichnowsky, who used a string quartet for his house concerts. It was here that Beethoven&#39;s three piano trios, later known as Opus 1, were first performed.</p>

<p>The composition of these trios marked Beethoven&#39;s initial use of opus numbers and showcased his complete mastery of the classical style. They were noted for the composer&#39;s innovative approach to variation techniques and connections between movements.</p>

<p>The powerful and grand C minor trio, which we will hear in this concert, is considered the finest among the three Opus 1 trios.</p>
