Júlia Gyenge, violin, Zsófia Vargek, viola, Eszter Szabó, cello, Márton Takáts, piano Concert at the Steinmann Hall of the Pennsylvania Academy of Music, 26 June, 2009
@classicvinylbiz I also enjoyed the performance from the 1970 cassette you've uploaded, although I found the first movement there a little too hurried, and naturally the sound quality isn't the same. I find this is the only youthful work of Beethoven's that has clear hints of his later self.
Fifteen year old Beethoven wrote this C major piano quartet (WoO 36) in 1785, the same year that Mozart wrote his famous G minor piano quartet (K 478). The lovely G minor melody heard here at 1:00 was used again 10 years later by Beethoven, in his C major piano sonata, op. 2 no. 3.
I think they were pretty good but I could hardly hear them.

Beethoven was 14 years old when he wrote this.
