Boosey and Hawkes Kreutzer Sonata, Op. 47 Windependence Chamber Ensemble Series Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Description

The classical wind band used in this arrangement consists of pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, horns and bassoons, which is typical of the classical wind sections in the Beethoven symphonies. The Kreuzter Sonata is the ninth of ten sonatas that Beethoven composed for piano and violin. Written in the same years as the third symphony (1802-1803), it shows the same musical leap forward that occurred between the second and third symphonies.
