The trios of Opus 1 were written during Beethoven’s early years in Vienna, where he was determined to establish himself as a serious composer rather than just a virtuoso pianist. These trios were premiered at a private concert in 1795 at the residence of Prince Lichnowsky, Beethoven’s patron. Many of the most influential musical figures of the time attended the event, including Joseph Haydn.
