Product Description
The first movement of Sonata no 26 in Ab major arranged for wind quintet.
I have tried as far as possible to arranage the piece as though Beethoven would have written it.
The horn is in Ab alto and I have tried as far as possible to use the notes of the natural horn.(This works better in some of the variations. I have used Ab basso for variation III.
A horn in F part is also included.
Variation 2:I have taken some liberties in that the constant syncopation in the R.H.piano part would not sit well on wind instruments, so I have retained Beethoven's harmonies and maintained the feel of the piece.
Variation 3 is in Ab minor (7 flats) so may well present some difficulties for the players playing in an unfamiliar key!.
The theme and othe variations are more playable.
