Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. This composition published in 1802 constitutes a completely separate concert piece from Opus 51 no. 1. Compared to the first Rondo (op. 51 no. 1), the second is considerably longer and with a markedly different expressive disposition. Here, lyrical traits predominate without any of the dramatic incursions otherwise so emblematic of Beethoven’s compositions. For that reaso…

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Some of Beethoven ’s most enduring and unabashedly successful works stem from his so-called “Middle Period” and in the genre of chamber music, the quartets Op. 74 and 95 together with the recently issued Op. 59 quartets complete this period. Jonathan Del Mar’s scholarly critical edition of quartets Op. 74 and 95 sets the record straight once and for all, restoring Beethov…

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Prise en tenaille entre les célèbres Symphonies n° 7 et n° 9, la relativement courte 8e Symphonie a, aujourd’hui encore, un statut particulier. Déjà après sa création en février 1814, un critique signala qu’elle n’avait déclenché «keine Furore», aucune fureur. Du premier coup d’œil, elle retourne à des formes et à des genres déjà dépassés, allant même jusqu’à réintroduire…

2nd Movement. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN / MEYER RICHARD (Arr.) . This theme and variations from Beethoven's Seventh Symphony is one of the most famous slow movements in the entire symphonic repertoire. Because of its somber minor key and quiet rhythmic pulse, it has been likened to a procession through the catacombs. Your students will love the wide variety of emotions included here in Richard Meye…

Op. 86. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. ?But, dear Beethoven, what have you done again'? Even if the authenticity of this statement, which was quoted by Anton Schindler, may be doubted, it reflects quite well the confusion that the Mass in C may have caused its commissioner, Prince Nicholas II Esterházy, in 1807. Unconventional for those times, here Beethoven opened up entirely new worlds of expression …

Op. 2 No. 3. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. remplace HN 622. Les trois sonates pour piano op. 2 sont les premières oeuvres de ce genre que Beethoven ait composées et dotées d'un numéro d'opus, les offrant ainsi au monde musical comme des compositions particulièrement précieuses. Elles virent le jour au cours des premières années viennoises de Beethoven et l'établirent - de même que ses Trios avec piano…

Op. 22. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Composed in 1800 and published as a 'Grande Sonate”, Beethoven's Piano Sonata in B-flat major op. 22 marks the end of his first creative period. The only surviving handwritten source is a copyist's manuscript that served as an engraver's copy but which conflicts in many details with the original print. Beethoven held this sonata in especially high regard, proudly …
