Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. 19th Century,Chamber,Classical,Romantic Period. Score. 3 pages. Adrian Gagiu #942081. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1357534).A piece in C minor for fortepiano, entirely based on five sketches by Beethoven: Biam. 349b (1802-1803), Biam. 280 (c. 1800), Biam. 349a (1802-1803), Biam. 467 (1808), and Biam. 472 (1808). Its interest lies in the combination and adjustment of the respective fragments, to result in a fluent piece in late Classical style. The sketches were expanded to exploit a bit their passing ideas (the double bars in the score indicate the end of the original material).
A mysterious introduction in C minor (Largo, Biam. 349b) is continued by modulations reminding of the Introduzione to the Finale of Beethoven’s Op. 53 and linking it to the vivacious central section, with triplets (first, Allegro assai, in B major as a possible reading of Biam. 280, which was originally written down without a key signature). This is continued by a section in A major (Biam. 349a) and then in D minor, in triple time (Biam. 467). After a sudden stop, the mysterious introduction in C minor returns abbreviated, ending discretely in C major.
Composed for the contest at the Centro Ricerche Musicali (C.R.M.) LVBEETHOVEN Italy.
Duration 2 min. 20 sec. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. The mp3 sample is a recording made on a Graf fortepiano sampled by Modartt's Pianoteq.
