{"product_id":"beethoven-works-for-piano-four-hands","title":"Beethoven Works For Piano Four Hands","description":"Long-time duo partners Peter Hill and Benjamin Frith present a survey of Beethoven's complete output for piano four hands. Works from his early years in Bonn and from the period of the 'Eroica Symphony', a decade later, are joined by a unique masterpiece from the year before his death. In 1826 Beethoven was persuaded to publish an arrangement for piano duet of the 'Grosse Fuge', finale of the 'String Quartet in B Flat, Op 130', which had astonished and bewildered listeners at the 'Quartet's' first performance. He took great care over the arrangement, effectively re-imagining the work in terms of the piano, for example in exploiting the added sonority of the bass (Beethoven's Broadwood piano extended an octave below the C string of the cello). The result is a tour de force of pianistic virtuosity.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57405086138750,"sku":"NW0801918342219","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/0801918342219.jpg?v=1778637902","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/beethoven-works-for-piano-four-hands","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
