The second movement of the 7th symphony (Allegretto) was composed between 1811 and 1812. The work is dedicated to Moritz von Fries. In this transcription I put the entire orchestra in one guitar.

One of my favorite Beethoven symhony movements... Sounds so deep, so touching... I dont have words to describe the feelings that your interpretation awakes... For young people as you classic music have a enormous future. Simply thanks.

Never expected it to be possible for Beethoven's symphony to sound so good on the guitar. it's incredibly difficult to do it this well. Great job!

The challenge of playing orchestral music on a guitar is to capture a musical idea played by scores of instruments and distill it into six strings. Your arrangements serve as a master class for how that's done.

I've been regularly visiting this video for over a year now and I still absolutely love this arrangement. Making just a small amount of time every now and then for a piece of music that moves you, has a disproportionately positive effect on your mental wellbeing. Music is a medium that can bring us closer to enlightenment that any other.

@sergiogiudici6976 11 ай бұрын

You are outstandly clever! Howevet, i think the guitar transcription does not work . it's too hard for the guitar to hold the ghostly counterpoint in the second part and the timbric differences with the precedent section in Major. However, it Is noticeable how you exploit the contrast between anapestic rythm and the triplets.

@openclassics 4 жыл бұрын

What do you think about the 4th repeat of the maintheme to play it by simple fortissimo chords??? Even flamenco-stile would be nice! In fact: The Anapaest-Rhythm has a lot of spanish „Zarabanda“ feeling. But there is no need to cut this worldhit because your guitar is untruly running out of possbilities. Anyway: Great work! Bravo!!!

@RolfvanMeurs 4 жыл бұрын

If you mean to play the 4th repeat in the beginning of the piece with chords I disagree. Simply because the really 'Fortissimo' is not in the beginning of the piece but at 5:46. And if I choose to play chords at that place I am not able to play the other voices in it. I understand what you are trying to say, but unfortunately it is not possible to play without losing some of the material. Thanks for you suggest anyway! Appreciate it!

@openclassics 4 жыл бұрын

Rolf van Meurs Hmmm... To change an Orchestra-Piece into an instrument does not mean, to copy the work like a clone, with all the voices. That 1.) is not possible because of the sound. 2.) is not the intention, because the solo-Instrument wants to keep its own charming character. You must see it like Bach with his „Musikalisches Opfer“ (Musical Sacrifice): He changed the fugues into playable fingerings, leaving the correctness of the theory, otherwise they would die, because no one could play or would like to hear that. You love guitar. SO GO FOR IT! (By the way: Chords would be the highlight to illuminate this movement...) Don’t be so shy!!! By the way 2nd: Beethoven himself said: „Guitar is a magic instrument. Because it can reflect a whole orchestra!“
