A New MP3 of the Completed Piano Trio in F Minor, Biamonti 637 (Unv 10)

Our own Willem’s proposed completion of the first movement of Beethoven’s abandoned piano trio in F minor, now catalogued in the 2nd edition of Kinsky-Halm as Unv 10, has been on our site for some time. His completion is based on the full score and continuity draft, which falls apart after about 130 bars, and then is a collection of sketches and ideas.

German composer Gerd Prengel was unsatisfied with the old mp3 version of Willem’s completion, and he produced a new version with improved strings and without the repeat of the exposition (his version runs almost two minutes shorter). We are very pleased to present Mr. Prengel’s improved mp3 on The Unheard Beethoven at the Piano Trio’s page on our site.

Hear the new mp3 directly here.

More of Gerd Prengel’s work, including his orchestrations of some of Beethoven’s string quartets, can be found at his website.
