trios

I composed several trios full of harmony, and of which I may perhaps speak in my supplement if ever I should write one.

But it is not enough to counteract the impression made by his trios on me, nor by his operas and conducting-work on Wagner.

In the second letter, of July, Beethoven speaks of two pianoforte sonatas, and in a later letter of two trios.

This has led to the conclusion that Beethoven first conceived them as solo sonatas and later developed them as trios.

I beg of you most politely that you lend me the two trios for pianoforte, violin and violoncello of my composition for to-day.
