Description

Brace yourselves, Beethoven lovers and purists everywhere; here
is the famous Fifth Symphony as you never dared to imagine it!
In “Beethoven Takes Five”, Aleksey has changed the meter to an
audacious 5/4… but that’s just the beginning of his machinations! He
throws in Mexican music, latin, swing and jazz and, in his own words,
“all sorts of other abominations on top”. The result is an amazing
piece, perhaps suitable for a concert encore, that can be played by
string quartet alone or with a piano. The piano doubles and supports
the strings and thereby make the piece approachable by intermediate
players

Instrument: Violin 1, Violin 2, Violoncello, Viola
