Presented here is the first movement of Beethoven's fifth symphony (op. 67) as arranged by Franz Liszt and performed by Cyprien Katsaris (b. 1951) for solo piano. Beethoven completed this symphony in 1808. Franz Liszt arranged all 9 of Beethoven's symphonies for solo piano, which were published as a complete set in 1865. Cyprien Katsaris compared Liszt's transcriptions to Beethoven's original score and felt there were sections where notes could be added for instruments which were left out. • Cyprien Katsaris was born May 5, 1951. I doubt he'll see this, but I purposely scheduled this video to publish on 5/5/2020 as a tribute to him. His many recordings have given me countless hours of listening enjoyment and have also sparked my interest in lesser-known works and composers. Soon (hopefully) his new 6-disc Beethoven Chronological Odyssey album will be released in my country. Beethoven's music is what first attracted me to piano and classical music. I'm sure there will be music from that album for which I'll create videos. • The following description of this movement is taken from Wikipedia: • The first movement is in the traditional sonata form that Beethoven inherited from his classical predecessors, Haydn and Mozart (in which the main ideas that are introduced in the first few pages undergo elaborate development through many keys, with a dramatic return to the opening section—the recapitulation—about three-quarters of the way through). It starts out with two dramatic fortissimo phrases, the famous motif, commanding the listener's attention. Following the first four bars, Beethoven uses imitations and sequences to expand the theme, these pithy imitations tumbling over each other with such rhythmic regularity that they appear to form a single, flowing melody. Shortly after, a very short fortissimo bridge, played by the horns, takes place before a second theme is introduced. This second theme is in E♭ major, the relative major, and it is more lyrical, written piano and featuring the four-note motif in the string accompaniment. The codetta is again based on the four-note motif. The development section follows, including the bridge. During the recapitulation, there is a brief solo passage for oboe in quasi-improvisatory style, and the movement ends with a massive coda. • Sources: • Sheet Music: http://ks4.imslp.net/files/imglnks/us... • Symphony 5: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphon...) • Liszt Transcriptions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethov...) • Cyprien Katsaris: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprien...
