Sonate 1 Opus 2 Nr. 1

All Beethoven sonatas have symphonic qualities, some even can be played as little opera’s without words or libretto. This comes forward when they are transcribed in arrangements for instrumental ensembles. Musical dialogues in the form of call and response, imitations and contrasts become clear. In this way these aspects come in a natural way to the fore by playing them with two pianists. The musical meaning is exposed without technical limitations. In these arrangements the original by Beethoven has been respected. Melodic lines have been cut in smaller pieces and are divided between the two pianists.
