Sonata (trio) in B flat major op. 10/2 鋼琴三重奏 奏鳴曲大調

在當時維也納的眾多作曲家和鋼琴家中，安東-埃貝爾（1765-1807 年）是最值得與貝多芬相提並論的一位。他的降 B 大調奏鳴曲，作品 10 之 2，是第一首已知的維也納單簧管鍵盤奏鳴曲。本版收錄了這首替代曲目。這可能是他七首奏鳴曲中第四首包含小提琴的奏鳴曲，出版時附帶了一個可選的 "Basse"--無疑是為大提琴手準備的部分--允許作為鋼琴三重奏演奏。這首奏鳴曲創作於 1800 年左右，獻給聖彼德堡俄國皇帝保羅一世宮廷的官員弗朗茨-約瑟夫-迪特裡希施泰因親王。埃貝爾曾於 1796-9 年和 1801-2 年兩度在聖彼德堡擔任指揮、演奏家和教師。這部作品最初由聖彼德堡的 Gerstenberg & Dittmar 公司出版。貝多芬的小提琴奏鳴曲作品 12 於 1799 年出版，當時的評論家認為這些作品具有挑戰性，"充滿了奇怪的困難"，同樣，兩首奏鳴曲作品 10 也被認為過於冗長和複雜。但是，在其持續時間、形式與和聲的新穎性，以及單簧管或小提琴與鍵盤之間的生動關係方面，他的作品 10 之二與貝多芬在這一體裁中的作品有著相同的音樂雄心和品質"

原文簡介:
Among Vienna’s many composers and pianists of the time, Anton Eberl (1765–1807) was the one considered most worthy of comparison with Beethoven. His Sonata in B flat major, Op.10 No.2, is the first known Viennese sonata for keyboard with clarinet, offered as a first-named alternative to violin. The alternatives are included in this edition. It is probably the fourth of his seven sonatas which included the violin and was published with an optional ‘basse’ – doubtless intended to be a part for a cellist – which permits performance as a piano trio. The sonata was composed around 1800 and dedicated to Franz Joseph the Prince of Dietrichstein, an official at the court of Emperor of Russia Paul I in St Petersburg. Eberl spent two periods in that city, 1796-9 and 1801-2, as Kapellmeister, performer and teacher. The work was first published by the St Petersburg firm of Gerstenberg & Dittmar. As contemporary reviewers found Beethoven’s Sonatas Op.12 with violin – works published in 1799 – challenging and ‘overladen with strange difficulties’, so too were the two sonatas Op.10 thought to be overlong and excessively complex. But in its duration, formal and harmonic novelty, and in the lively relationship between the clarinet or violin and the keyboard, his Op.10 No.2 shares much of the musical ambition and quality of Beethoven’s works in this genre.
