Beethoven Piano Trio in D Major “Ghost”
Mozart Quintet in E♭ major for Piano and Winds, K. 452
Carl Czerny wrote that the second movement of Beethoven’s Piano Trio in D reminded him of the ghost of Hamlet’s father – and the name stuck. Written in 1808, between the 5th and 6th symphonies, Beethoven raised the emotional level of the piano trio to a new height.
