Beethoven Concertos, two-piano reduction.
on: August 13, 2007, 06:08:58 PM
Hi All,

To celebrate that my wife and I now have two pianos in our living room, she has asked me to play Beethoven concertos with her (I did a lot of beggin before she asked me).  Alas, though, I went to IMSLP and they don't have the reductions, but just the orchestral score.

I am wondering if a charitable soul here would mind posting the concertos (all five of them) in two piano reduction.

If you let me be picky, the old Schirmer edition would be great.  But, really, anything you have handy and not copyrighted would work.

Thanks!!!!

(P.S., I don't think there is a public domain copy of Beethoven's transcription for piano of his violin concerto, but if you have such thing, I would love it too).

P.S.2  I didn't think of checking the silver site, maybe this can't be posted because they are ther already, in which case, please narrow my request to the historically important and unique Schirmer edition of Kullack, which has Czerny's notes.
Money does not make happiness, but it can buy you a piano.  :)

All the Concerto's in 2 piano can be downloaded here old chap, but i don't think they would be Schirmer Edition.

A Piano solo transcription of the Violin Concerto was made by Hess and published by Breitkopf, but well in copyright.

All of the Concertos were also reduced for piano solo by Moscheles, but i am having trouble in getting the book under the scanner.
