STRING TRIOS by BEETHOVEN
Played by KENNETH SKEAPING (Violin)
BERNARD SHORE (Viola)
EDWARD J. ROBINSON (Violoncello)
Op. 9, No. 2, First and Second Movements
BEETHOVEN'S String Trio in D (Op. 9, No. 2), of which the first two movements are to be played this evening, is less often performed than its companions in G and C Minor, both of which are undoubtedly finer works, but it contains some delightful pages, even so. As a whole, it is ' earlier ' in style and more Mozartian in character than either of its fellows, though many will find it none the less attractive on that account.
