Synopsis

There's more to Beethoven than the great symphonies and sonatas. The composer wrote some fine smaller pieces, many of which appear here. This collection of popular and often-performed works includes 18 bagatelles (or "trifles," usually for piano), 3 rondos (often used for the final movement of a larger piece), and 12 ländlers and minuets (folk and formal dances). Popular and often-performed works include Rondo a Capriccio in G and Andante in F.

About the Author

The genius of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) casts a long shadow over classical music — no other composer of the past two centuries has exercised a more profound influence. A product of the classicist generation, he was the first of the Romantics, and his works remain undiminished in their powers of enchantment.
