The first period of the three into which it is usual to divide Beethoven's career as a composer includes nineteen pieces of chamber music, roughly one-third of the total output of those years. They range from the Septet to a Sonata for piano and mandolin, and include four string trios, of which this Serenade has always been the most popular.
It exploits the three instruments with a masterly knowledge of their possibilities. The fourth movement is an instance of Beethoven's experiments in form, combining as it does slow movement and scherzo. There is a sharp contrast in manner between the middle Allegro molto and the Adagio that is interchanged with it.
