ottoman bands inspired mozart and beethoven...the ottoman millitery band was the first in the world since 8th century...plus ottoman turks were neighbours to vienna for centuries and turkish music was very popular during 18th century...ottoman music was very loud and always sound like a march...drums and flutes were ottomans main musical instruments

Beethoven's Turkish March piano arrangement by Anton Rubinstein then further arranged by Sergei Rachmaninoff... This is what I'm looking for! Rachmaninoff's version! I like Evgeny Kissin's too... But this recording is classic! ^_^

@Classicmozayful Rachmaninoff was a great fan of Hoffman's. There is the same masterful controll in this performance as you find in Hoffman. The gradual, deliberate crescendo to the high point and then the subtle, much more rapid, decrescendo is magical in its understanding of musical structure. I remember when I was student and historical playing was in vogue. I heard Rachmaninoff play Bach and realized understanding structure was much more important than using pedal or not using it.

Chavo del Ocho!!! :D

I think beethoven was grasping for something when he wrote this.

I think this is not original Rubinstein's arrangement. This version here was further arranged by Rachmaninoff, BUT there are no big differences, because this it just further arrangement.

Both are great, but I prefer original version.

If i'm not mistaken this is the version he further arranged, on top of Rubenstein's.

If i'm not mistaken this is the version that he further arranged, on top of rubensteins
