Description

SKU HN9043

When Beethoven received a commission from Viennas Burgtheater to compose stage music for Goethes tragedy Egmont in 1809, he viewed it as a great honour. The impetus would have been all the stronger since the drama, about a Dutch nobleman who falls victim to a plot by a Spanish ruler, from the outset provided for music at several points. Beethoven repeatedly declared later on that he had received no honorarium from the theatres management, but had written the music solely out of love for the poet. The overture became separated from the rest of the incidental music very early on; it was separately published and soon performed as a concert piece independent of the stage tragedy. We now issue it as a study score based on the text of the Beethoven Complete Edition, and with a new preface. Egmont Overture Op. 84 Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven Publisher: G.
