Sometimes I wonder if Beethoven was or not a being from other planet or dimension: even in minor pieces such like these (or "circunstances pieces") he shows an amazing mastery or form and an endless flow of ideas. He is the greatest artist and master from the form and idea that has ever lived.
There is some doubt about the time these marches for piano, four hands, were composed, though their publication date of 1804 and their style suggest Beethoven probably wrote them the year before. He produced only about five or six works for piano, four hands, apparently because the genre did not appeal to him. His motivation to produce these works came when he received a commission from music patron Count Johann Georg Browne. If Beethoven had been cool to this realm, he did not divulge a lack of enthusiasm or inspiration here. All three of these marches are well-crafted, not designed to serve merely as entertaining salon fare. Of course, by this time (assuming their composition did occur in 1803) Beethoven had already written his first two symphonies and was working on (or about to work on) his Third ("Eroica"). It is no surprise then, that he approached the commission with the idea of providing something of substantial value. The three pieces are, respectively, in the keys of C, E flat, and D. They are not episodic in style, but rather symphonic. The first begins with a glorious, regal-sounding theme that must have satisfied Count Browne and his circle of friends. Its first three notes permeate all but the trio section, which continues the joyous, aristocratic mood. The writing for both players fully exploits the range of the keyboard and makes considerable technical demands. The second march begins more vigorously, featuring that Beethovenian manic quality, which, in this work, effervesces with wit and color. The middle section, with a droll bass rhythmic figure, is quite a delight. This may be the most effective of the trio. The third of the pieces is colorful and energetic, featuring many trills and other brilliant pianistic effects. The middle section contains some charming rhythmic writing, and the ending offers sparkles with deftly-wrought humor. Like the first march, both of these are quite pianistically challenging for the players. The three pieces are among Beethoven's most colorful and brilliant and must be regarded as masterpieces in the four hand genre. Even when considered amid all piano music, these three marches quite strongly hold their own. Though Beethoven had written the music for Count Browne, he dedicated it to Princess Maria Esterházy. Each piece runs about three-and-a-half minutes in duration. (AllMusic)
Llevo escuchando estas disciplinadas y enérgicas marchas militares desde la adolescencia en la versión de la deutsche grammophon de los discos vinilo de 33rpm que recuerdos cuando en el tocadiscos con pletina de cassette en los 80 absorbía el contenido de los vinilos a la casete cinta y me hinchaba de escucharlas decenas y decenas de veces era un placer sin precedentes y 32 años después las recuerdo con emoción, constructivas, ordenadas constantes, disciplinadas, 3joyas del tesoro beethoveniano pianístico
Del 9:57 al 10:16 aprox esa frase refleja la pasión beethoveniana el nudo en la garganta que nos hace esas chispas de atracción y absorción romántica, son un deleite absoluto
Pero no sé por qué estás marchas a 4 manos a 1 o a 2 pianos las disfruto enormemente y cuando también escucho las muchas sonatas a 4 manos piano de Mozart como la celebérrima K488 las disfruto enormemente también aunque sea un estilo tan diferente que derrocha luz, perfección, poesía, lirismo,pasión y una perfección monstruosa como acertadamente dio el gigante pianista vasco Joaquín Achúcarro muy viejo ya 87 años ha interpretado a todos por supuesto sinceramente quedó estupefacto con ambos geniazos,le veo un sinsentido y nada de lógica decir que unas sonatas a 4 manos son mejores que otras incluso con las de Brahms o Schubert son HERMOSURAS artísticas de diferentes estilos que un buen melómano no se cansa de escuchar en toda una vida,es como decir por qué una buena película y más reconocidas,consideradas y premiadas siempre se disfrutan aunque pasen 40 años de su estreno véase Superman,caza fantasmas,Tiburón o Rocky y sin embargo hay películas que no soportamos y de muy mala gana las terminamos de ver o bien no las acabamos y nunca volvemos a verlas?pues ese criterio refleja la calidad y peso de una obra artística

@@kareraisu7327 B’s catalog has 850 known works, though some of those are fragments and juvenilia. So yes, he wrote a lot and yet he also wrote for money which is why he arranged several pieces and published them as separate works, approved other arrangements, because he made money on sheet music sales. And yes he also wrote small things for commission.
अत्तिरमणिय सङ्गीत। खुप राम्रोसँग निर्मित कृति। सुनेरै पुरै सरिरमा जोस-जाँगर ल्याउने। तर उनले सामान्यतया रचना गर्नुहुने भन्दा अलि भिन्दै। शुबेर्ट र मोजार्टको छाञा बढी देखिन्छ।।

My favourite is March I. Its underlying theme is simply so beautiful.

I love this medium.
Music and sight together.
Thanks
delightful. Not heard this before. Thanks for uploading.

This reminds me of Schubert, especially the first march
Maybe Schubert borrowed something from Beethoven, as Schubert was only 6 years old when these small gems were written (1803)
Schubert is so much better than this...

Me encanta Beethoven y considero muy buena la interpretación de este duetto.Excelente.
Thanks
I would like to know why Beethoven wrote these and for whom? Pleasant enough but not much related to the other things he was doing at the time.
He writes music to express his music, composers uncontrollably write music whenever they have an idea in their mind.
+Caped Baldy that just doesn't accurately reflect the historical reality of composers. They worked on commission.
@@helvete_ingres4717 That's true, but Beethoven was an exception. He wrote whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Anyone wonder if Schubert had heard op 45 no 3 before writing the Military March?
Ah, está chida
The third one is in D, not in C.....thanks!
Your are right, I fixed it. But, by the way, you can find google-result with c major too.
And thanks for information :)
