About

From the pen of the fifteen-year-old Beethoven, these three piano quartets are among the earliest examples of a chamber music genre that would not reach full maturity until the time of Brahms.

Beethoven’s path-breaking essays stand beside those of Mozart, also dating from the mid-1780s. In them the teenage composer and virtuoso pianist exuberantly explores the relationship between the strings and piano, and would later borrow from them for his Piano Sonatas, Op.2.

With this recording the New Zealand Piano Quartet makes its Naxos début.

New Zealand Piano Quartet:
- Richard Mapp (piano)
- Yury Gezentsvey (violin)
- Donald Maurice (viola)
- David Chickering (cello)
