Beethoven-Liszt - Symphony No. 8, Op. 93 (Sheet Music) (Piano Reduction)
Liszt's solo piano transcription of Beethoven's symphonies belongs to the most challenging works of the piano repertoire. The 5th, 6th, and 7th of Beethoven's 9 symphonies were completed by Liszt in 1837. Liszt subsequently performed the transcriptions throughout Europe before going on a 23-year hiatus on the project until he finished it in 1863. The full set was eventually published in 1865 and dedicated to Hans von Bülow, Liszt's son-in-law. 00:00 - I. Allegro vivace e con brio. 08:55 - II. Allegretto scherzando. 13:27 - III. Tempo di Menuetto. 18:22 - IV. Allegro vivace. Piano: Cyprien Katsaris The rights of this recording go to their respective owners.
