Ludwig van Beethoven: Grand Fugue Op.134 - Piano Four-Hands: Piano: Instrumental

Format : Sheet music

In his late work Beethoven devoted himself intensively to the forms of baroque polyphony. He originally composed the Große Fuge as the final movement of the String Quartet in Bb Op.130. However accordingto one critic the listeners of the time considered it to be 'unintelligible like Chinese'. At the urging of his publisher Beethoven then replaced it with a newly composed closing movement for the quartet. In addition he alsomade a version of the Große Fuge for Piano four-hands. The autograph of this arrangement was recently rediscovered. Courtesy of the Juillard School of Music Henle was able to consult it for the first time fortheir new critical edition.
