What a lovely piece, such gorgeous mellow sounds from the oboe, bassoon and three horns. I never knew Beethoven wrote this. It is always good when the great composers' lesser-known works get an airing. I was just watching a video of a Norwegian trio of piano bassoon and oboe playing the Trio Opus 11, which I'm assuming was originally written for piano violin and cello. I love the sound of the wind instruments together.

very good recording.. although I would love one with natural Horns of that level!

Never knew this existed. Bravo

2nd movement: 8:55 3rd movement: 12:32

Such a wonderful piece and recording. That such a rare and beautiful little flower could ever receive 6 thumbs down, even after 8 years since having been posted is such a blow to the heart for me. With all that went into the composition and performance found here, leaves one only to be appreciative, so one might hope. The world is a dismal and dark place with only such things as the heartfelt renderings found here to shine a little light. That anyone should ever turn away from it, even momentarily, may I never put my trust in them unless they first, either consider the folly of their youthful criticisms, or perhaps, the sadness of their embittered hearts.

What an utterly charming piece of music!

I love this piece

So beautiful ! Thank you so much !

How wonderful ! Thank you, Harpsichord. Thank you, L.v. And thanks to KZfaq.

Only part of the manuscript survives. The exposition of the first movement is a reconstruction, as is most of the Minuet apart from about 19 bars. There was no doubt a finale originally.

Very nice piece. No opus number?

I'm confused. Who is the composer, L.v. or Rejcha?

This must be an early work
