Other vocal music

The early creative period of many composers is marked by songs based on poems for singing voice and piano. In Beethoven's case, this was no different. He successfully completed this early phase with the first song cycle in music history.

For several collections of British and continental melodies Beethoven composed piano trio accompaniments.

The secular vocal music of Beethoven furthermore includes some cantatas and smaller compositions for choir and instrumental accompaniment.
