Beschreibung
Beethoven's bagatelles are short compositions written over the span of the
composer's lifetime, from the early to the late periods. Ranging from easy to
intermediate level, these popular pieces display a wide variety of moods and
musical ideas and are favorites with students and accomplished pianists alike.
The Romantic era abounded in short compositions for piano: etudes, serenades,
impromptus, and other miniatures. Beethoven's term for his refined little
piano gems was Kleinigkeiten 'small things' or bagatelles. Although the
public expected symphonic abundance from a composer of his stature, Beethoven
was reputed to take particular satisfaction in the challenge of distilling
his musical ideas into a concentrated form. Reprinted from authoritative
editions, this collection presents all 27 of the composer's bagatelles,
including the well-loved 'Für Elise.'
