Beethoven's 'WALDSTEIN' No21 OP53

on: September 13, 2004, 06:44:44 AM

I'm looking for the sheet music for this,

I've just been listening to it and I must say the intro is quite unique and it doesn't sound like beethoven at all!

Still love it though

Of course it sounds like Beethoven! I like the 3rd movement the most. Overall, however I dont see what the big deal is with this piece- I dont know why so many people like it so much..

Here is the sheet music:

God, dont' even get me started on Horowitz' Beethoven.

If you want definitive Waldstein recording, you want Kempff.

...or Gilels ... or Hungerford ... and I happen to love Horowitz's Waldstein (though I agree most of his Beethoven isn't as good as his Waldstein, unfortunately)

Favorite pianists include Pollini, Casadesus, Mendl (from the Vienna Piano Trio), Hungerford, Gilels, Argerich, Iturbi, Horowitz, Kempff, and I suppose Barenboim (gotta love the CSO). Too many others.
