Product Description

STRING ORCHESTRA

Score: 42 pages. Duration: ca. 15'

Beethoven's Grosse Fugue, Op. 133 is one of his most complex and difficult compositions. It is a single movement, but is made up of several different sections and passages. The piece is written in the form of a double fugue, meaning that it has two distinct themes that are used throughout the piece. The piece is highly chromatic and dissonant, making it difficult to play and understand. The Grosse Fugue was written during Beethoven's late period and is considered to be one of his most ambitious works. It is often cited as an example of Beethoven's innovative use of counterpoint and his refusal to accept any conventions or traditional forms of composition. It is a remarkable work of art that continues to captivate and challenge listeners to this day.
