Beethoven: Wind Trio in C major Op.87 arranged - wind quintet

Arranged wind quintet.

Horn in C basso/Hn in F

 

The Wind Trio for two Oboes and English Horn in C major, Op. 87 is a trio composition by Ludwig van Beethoven.

It was written in 1794, shortly after he arrived in Vienna.

Because amateur performers would gather in unusual permutations of players, this Trio was quickly arranged for many other combinations of instruments: versions exist for two violins and bass line, two flutes and viola, two clarinets and bassoon, as a sonata for violin and piano, and in various piano settings.

 

In 1806, Beethoven approved an arrangement (not by him) for two violins and viola, which was published that year. It was assigned the misleadingly-high opus number of 87, which would seem to place it near the Seventh Symphony; in fact, this music was written before Beethoven had published his Opus 1. 

 

I have arranged the complete trio for standard wind quintet, and have created a new natural horn part, retaining the classical sound.
