In terms of music history, the wind quintet genre is caught between two schools : 18th-century composers preferred the sextet or octet instrumentation with two equal instruments each for their wind divertimentos and serenades, whereas the Romantic composers preferred the warm sound of the string instruments - which only left a short period of transition for the mixed wind quintet. There was hardly any great classical music written for this tonally charming genre. The present arrangement of several selected bagatelles by Beethoven shall help to fill this gap in the classical repertoire. Besides, it is precisely the genre of the small intimate bagatelle which Beethoven cultivated his whole life that is able to create its own new charm as wind chamber music. Instrumentation : wind quintet

Originally, Beethoven wrote Sonata Op. 17 for horn and piano. This composition was intended for the famous horn virtuoso Johann Wenzel Stich who called himself Giovanni Punto. Punto had greatly expanded the playing techniques on the natural horn. Accordingly, Beethoven tailored the solo part completely to the unique playing skills of this virtuoso musician. Punto performed the work several times ; to other hornists, however, it remained unaccessible at that time because of its difficulties. That probably was the reason why this work was published in a version for horn or violoncello one year after the world premiere already. It is deemed to be fairly certain that this arrangement goes back to Beethoven himself. Carl Czerny already ranked this sonata among Beethoven's original cello sonatas and listed it chronologically as No. 3. Like the 1801 edition of the Viennese publisher Tranquillo Mollo, the Wiener Urtext Edition publishes the sonata for horn or violoncello and piano. Whereas the horn sonata was very difficult to play at the time of creation, the arrangement for violoncello, curiously enough, is one of the easiest among Beethoven's cello sonatas. For this reason, the composition is increasingly popular among cellists as an accessible approach to Beethoven's oeuvre for violoncello and piano. Consequently, the work is now available in the Wiener Urtext Edition series as separate edition as well. Instrumentation : horn or cello and piano op. 17

Erwin Schulhoff composed his cadenzas for Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Concertos No. 1-4 (no independent cadenza is intended for Piano Concerto No. 5) in Berlin in 1923. That means they were written at the same time as his Concerto for piano and small orchestra Op. 43, which combines impressionism and jazz and can be regarded as the first 'jazz' piano concerto in music history. The present cadenzas, however, do not show any influences of jazz but follow entirely the classical piano concerto tradition in a way which is virtuosic, and yet comapratively easy to play. Instrumentation : piano
