Ludwig van Beethoven's Opus 1 is a set of three piano trios (written for piano, violin, and cello), first performed in 1795 in the house of Prince Lichnowsky, to whom they are dedicated.[The trios were published in 1795.
François-Joseph Naderman est un compositeur, harpiste, facteur, éditeur de musique et professeur de harpe, né le 5 août 1781 à Paris où il est mort le 2 avril 1835.
The first of the composer's published works which the composer thought to be important enough to be given an opus number. The trios were composed in 1794 and 1795, possibly with older precursors for the first trio from Beethoven's first years in Vienna in 1792/93. First performed at a private concert in the home of his patron Prince Lichnowsky, at which Beethoven's former teacher Joseph Haydn was present. Ferdinand Ries writes about the evening in his "Biographischen Notizen über Ludwig van Beethoven" from 1838, "The three trios by Beethoven (Opus 1) were to be played to the artistic world for the first time at a soirée held at Prince Lichnowksy's. Most artists and music lovers had been invited, in particular Haydn, whose pronouncement was eagerly awaited by all. The trios were played and caused a great stir. Even Haydn said many nice things about them, but advised Beethoven not to publish the third one in C minor. This greatly surprised Beethoven, as he considered it to be the best one, and today it is still the one that is most popular and which is the most effective. So Haydn's remark angered Beethoven and made him think that Haydn was envious, jealous and wanted to do him an injustice. I must admit that when Beethoven told me this I did not believe him. I therefore took the opportunity to ask Haydn himself. His answer did, however, confirm what Beethoven had mentioned, as he said he did not think that this trio would be understood very quickly or easily and that the public would not take to it very well."
