The “Complete” Beethoven


#Beethoven250 Day 7
Rondo in A Major (WoO 49), 1783

This is the second of two rondos that the 12-year-old Beethoven wrote, apparently as compositional exercises to learn structure as well as successfully modulate to other keys and safely return.

Another performance of the second rondo. I love the juxtaposition of the pastoral backdrop, the pink Yamaha piano, and the officials keeping score. (Next Magazine is a popular Chinese weekly.)
