Best Answer

The Ghost Trio was so named by Czerny because the second movement reminded him of Hamlet's Ghost in Shakespeare. In fact, Beethoven's notes reveal that he was working on an idea for an Opera based on Macbeth, and interspersed with these notes are the sketch of a slow movement for the Trio.
