Trio for piano, flute and bassoon (Beethoven)
The Trio for piano, flute and bassoon in G major, WoO 37, is a composition for piano trio by Ludwig van Beethoven that was discovered amongst Beethoven's papers following his death. Believed to have been composed in his teens and demonstrating the influence of Mozart, the composition remained unpublished until 1888, when it was published in the supplement to the complete set of the composers works by Breitkopf & Härtel.{{harvnb|Blakeman|1992|p=4}}{{harvnb|Hewitt|Müller-Schott|2011}}
