Beethoven's 'WALDSTEIN' No21 OP53

[Ludvig_Van_Me]

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:

I really like Brendel's version. Definately one of my favorite pieces.

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)
