Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827) remains one of the most influential composers ever to have lived. His Op. 87 Trio originally composed for two Oboes and Cor Anglais in 1795 is sublimely arranged for Brass instruments by Robert King. Beethoven's Trio was originally composed in C major and has since been arranged for a variety of instrumentations. King's arrangement is intended for Trumpet Horn or Trumpet and Baritone Trombone or Horn. The Trio is made up of four movements; 1) Allegro 2) Adagio Cantabile 3) Menuetto and 4) Finale. For all aspiring advanced Brass trios King's arrangement of Beethoven's popular Op. 87 Trio cannot be missed.

Trio in C major op. 87 - Variations in C major WoO 28-Both of these works for two oboes and cor anglais which Beethoven composed in the 1790s belong to the lighter genre of serenades and divertimentos. He might have written them in response to a commission or have been inspired bythe prevailing popularity of this delicate combination of instruments.Likewise with the Variations WoO 28 on the famous theme 'La ci darem la mano' by Mozart he made a contribution of his own to the arrangements ofoperatic melodies for wind ensembles that were so popular at the time.This Urtext edition follows the recently published volume in the Beethoven Complete Edition and thus reflects the latest scholarly research onBeethoven.
