  • This is in my top 5 Beethovens (I have about 3/4 of all his works)....It always felt like Beethoven was taking me to small peaks without giving me the full climax....I get a hint of it and then he takes me somewhere else until he wants to blow me away with it towards the end......Gives me goose bumps every time.....as does 5th piano concerto, Egmont, 2nd movement from 5th, etc...etc......etc........ Also If you haven't seen it then watch 'Immortal Beloved'....Great film

  • lol i dont know why u got the -2 ur so right lol

  • @ Matey3: Indeed! You echoed my thoughts. It's such a wonderful piece. It's called "Schmückt die Altäre" (Deck the Altars) in E flat.

  • Thanks for posting this

    I finally found that piece I was looking for, (on amazon)

    It is called "Decorate The Altar" (or whatever the German words mean):

    Schmuckt dei altair.

    On the LP I had it was close to Turkish march, may be a track b4? well anyway

    I am not a musician but I love to play that one on the keyboards (play by ears) but I think it is in E flat? Someone must dig it and enjoy it as I have for so many years.

    If i had a country that piece would've been my national anthem.

    Regards;

  • The second overture is known as the Consecration of the House Overture.

  • A bit faster than expected, but even so wonderful!

  • wikipedia

  • Great job from a community college.  Thank you for posting it.

  • Perhaps the best-known music from Die Ruinen von Athen (The Ruins of Athens, in English) is the Turkish March, a theme that many who are not even avid classical music listeners are familiar with. The overture and the Turkish March are often performed separately, and the other pieces of this set are not often heard. Another of Beethoven's composition, Six variations on an original theme, Op. 76, uses the Turkish March as its theme.
