Beethoven: Before & After

In this program, we hear two Beethoven pieces for strings and piano: a tuneful early violin sonata and the famous "Ghost Trio," written 12 years later, and look at Beethoven's dramatic transformation through the lens of his chamber music works. Violinist Corey Cerovsek, pianist Paavali Jumppanen and the Claremont Trio play Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 3 in E-flat Major, Op. 12, No. 3 and Beethoven's Piano Trio in D Major, Op. 70, No. 1 ("Ghost").

 

Recorded live in the Tapestry Room of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston.
