LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827): Symphony No. 3 in E Flat, Op. 55 (arr. Ferdinand Ries [1784-1838]), Piano Quartet in E Flat, Op. 16.

Description: Although we know that this is the last of more than a dozen transcriptions for various instrumental combinations which Ries made of Beethoven originals, we don't know when he did it since it was only published in 1857. Nevertheless, as a big step above doing string quartets, quintets and trios, this Eroica will appeal to both Ries collectors and transcription fans. Mozart Piano Quartet.
