About

Introducing the arrangement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony no.3 in E flat major, also known as the 'Eroica', for a piano quartet with an additional double bass. This awe-inspiring work was composed during a time of great personal turmoil for Beethoven, but this struggle gives the Symphony its raw, emotional power.

Ferdinand Ries, a close friend and student of Beethoven, has expertly arranged the Symphony for the piano quartet, making it accessible for audiences to enjoy in intimate settings. Adding a double bass, an idea by Lars Schaper, adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the tonal space. As a result, you'll hear familiar melodies in an unfamiliar way and discover new details that may have been lost in the original orchestration.

Don't miss your chance to hear the Symphony Ries believed would make "heaven and earth tremble" when performed. This is an opportunity to experience Beethoven's music's raw emotion and true essence, laid bare for all to hear.
