Playful and funny, sympathetic and moody

On Thursday I went to a concert, and this trio was played. It is actually one of the first important chamber music pieces I faced as a cellist. Beethoven composed it just before beginning his string quartet repertoire, and I think he thought of each instrument as a human character, making their interactions at times playful and funny, at times sympathetic and moody. Many say that it doesn't sound like Beethoven at all...with which authority I don't really know :-)
