The specialist's opinion

When it comes to Beethoven's piano music, we usually think of his piano sonatas first.

His other compositions for this instrument are nonetheless significant.

So it is certainly no coincidence that he published most of his trifles with opus numbers, which in principle testified to the particular importance he attached to a work. These trifles illustrate a lighter facet of this composer often considered a little too quickly as a master of gravity and serious music. This collection includes all the trifles composed by Beethoven, including those of opus 33, opus 119 and opus 126. The trifles are short and light pieces which are generally played on a keyboard instrument. The plays are written in a varied style, ranging from romanticism to comedy. This collection is ideal for beginner and intermediate musicians who wish to practice playing classical music. The pieces are written in an accessible level and are accompanied by presentation notes and advice on how to perform. More advanced musicians may also find interesting challenges in this collection.
