From Beethoven to Debussy. From trio to quartet. From the end of the 18th to the end of the 19th century. Ludwig van Beethoven was still a young man in his mid-twenties when he wrote three string trios with the opus number 9. And he was expressly convinced of the quality of his work. The third example of this collection is indeed absolutely captivating, dark and full of passion. What it does to the sound when a second violin is added to the violin can be wonderfully studied in Claude Debussy's only string quartet, which was written 100 years later. But one thing remains astonishing: that the impressionist tone painter managed to remain true to his style with just four instruments, even in this small, intimate form.
