Beethoven as the symbol of affinity to the masters of Viennese Classicism, but also as a visionary and a trigger of the new - this is in keeping with the "main focus" of the TrioVanBeethoven: the cultivation of classical trio literature, but also composition commissions for world premieres or crossover projects are features of its activity. Nevertheless, with their first album Clemens Zeilinger, Verena Stourzh and Franz Ortner devote themselves to the name giver of their ensemble with an arch from Beethoven's first listed work, the Piano Trio in E flat major, Op. 1/1, the even earlier Trio in E flat major WoO 38 up to one of the best-known works of the genre, teh Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70/a, which was later give the sobriquet of "Ghost Trio" because of the sometimes mystic mood in teh slow movement. Why "van Beethoven"? Beethoven stands for independence of mind, for revolutionary ideas, for music that reaches far beyond his own time. Beethoven was a "lone wolf", but at the same time the central point of departure for new traditions of composition, such as the lineage from Brahms to Schoenberg. In its foundation year in 2011, the trio held its debut at the renowned FEstival Tage der Alten Musik in Herne. Since then, the ensemble has appeared in Austria, Germany, Italy, and many other countries throughout the world.
