Beethoven Takes Five [CF:UE038099]

Brace yourselves, Beethoven lovers and purists everywhere; hereis the famous Fifth Symphony as you never dared to imagine it!In "Beethoven Takes Five", Aleksey has changed the meter to anaudacious 5/4… but that’s just the beginning of his machinations! Hethrows in Mexican music, latin, swing and jazz and, in his own words,"all sorts of other abominations on top".

The piano doubles and supportsthe strings and thereby make the piece approachable by intermediateplayers
