Piano Quartet in C major (1785)

Biamonti 12, WoO 36, #3
I can't actually come up with very much worthwhile to say about this, the third of the WoO 36 Piano Quartets. On the whole, it has no particularly special moments,. The Adagio features a particularly beautiful melody, which unfortunately Beethoven buries in ornamentation. As a consequence, the melody never really gets the time to speak. Beethoven would return to some of these moments in his first published set of Piano Sonatas.
