ppppfffffffff... Not what Beethoven would have done....lol...THIS IS AN ARRANGEMENT BY BEETHOVEN HIMSELF!!!!!. It is an arrangement by Beethoven himself of his op.8 string trio. The viola and piano version is published as op.42!!!!!!!!

@RAZZOBBI

The Op.42 Notturno for Viola and Piano is an arrangement of the Serenade in D (Op.8) arranged by F. X. Kleinheinz a Student of Beethoven. It has wrongly been published under Beethovens name for better selling most likely. People who use 9 exclamation marks should be very sure of what they say...

Just like with the Walton (and the Milhaud sonata, among others) he takes a lot of stuff up the octave for clarity. This is for the simple fact that in a lot of the halls he was used to playing to the lower stuff was too muddy to project.

Damn... William Primrose brought the shizzle all over the hizzle!

The edition I have was edited by Sydney Beck, published by G. Schirmer, Inc., copyright 1949. The highest note in the this arrangement is a high B-flat. If I were going to play this in public I would take those down an octave, mostly because I do not like the sound quality up there, especially mine. I do not have this music in any kind of machine readable form, though I am confident it is still available.

Hello violaclown, and do u have in a pdf or something in your pc, id really appreciate if you could send it to me =) .

[DoGz1121]

you've gotta admit that the pianist is good too...he doesn't even have music!

[violaclown]

I have this arrangement and have played it over the years. It is fairly challenging, especially if you do not stay on top of playing up in high positions. This recording is really fist and it is a tough piece at that speed.

There are some differences between this recoding and the arrangement I have. It seems very likely to me that Primrose either wrote this arrangement himself or modified the Opus 42 to his own liking.

but that's just me. (Sorry duplicate posts)

Yes I do know what those are and happened to play the viola part for the original form of this, but it's not hard... Although I love viola I'd have to say playing alberti bass line most of the time in the trio is not as juicy as this arrangement, even if it gives you some power as to dictate where the group's going.
