description
This new recording presents three lesser-known chamber music works by the young Beethoven, the Piano Quartets WoO36.

• Like every musician in Europe the young Beethoven was well acquainted with Mozart’s compositional works and he was a great admirer of them. He performed Mozart’s piano concertos with the court orchestra in Bonn and later played viola in performances of Mozart’s operas.

• Beethoven’s Piano Quartets were modelled on the two great examples in this genre by Mozart. At a young age Beethoven was already a phenomenal pianist who explored the boundaries of existing piano technique, and in doing so extended them. The piano technique displayed in these works was unheard-of at the time, in particular where it applies to fingerings, pedal use, left hand technique, and sheer virtuosity.

• Played on period instruments by fortepianist Bart van Oort and the Van Swieten Society. Bart van Oort has an impressive discography to his name.
