ベートーヴェンの「皇帝」がピアノソロで楽しめる！クラシック好きにはたまらない、上級者向けの楽譜です。美しい旋律が魅力的で、是非チャレンジしてみてください！
This is my second concert transcription of another one of my favorite piano concertos for solo piano, Beethoven’s “Emperor” concerto No. 5, Op. 73 (first being Rachmaninoff’s 2nd piano concerto). I performed this in my university years and I still love now as I did then. But as I mentioned in my Rachmaninoff 2nd concerto’s preface you can’t play with an orchestra whenever you have a concert or a recital. I always wanted to play this piece solo but I could not find a score arranged for solo piano. But after finishing the Rach 2nd I thought if I can do this, I can probably do the Beethoven. Sure enough,I finished it in less than two weeks. I think it turned out pretty well.
This transcription is much more accessible than the Rachmaninoff (awfully difficult not only technically but the HUGE hand stretches which not many of us have). If I were to rate Rachmaninoff I would give a 9 out of 10 in technical difficulty, whereas Beethoven, a 7 out of 10.
And as always, I appreciate your support if you purchased my score. Practice hard and enjoy your fruits of labor.
