Beethoven's Unknown Piano Concerto


And no we're not taking the piano version of the violin concerto, but rather Piano Concerto No. 0.

Pianist Kuerti has been busy working on a reconstruction of an early Beethoven piano concerto
he has been reconstructing a 6th piano concerto written by Beethoven at the age of 14, which only exists in a single-piano reduction.

If interested, you can find a midi file and some concise background on this work at one my favorite spots on the web for all things Beethoven: "The Unheard Beethoven Project" Link

this is a bad idea. I repeat was pliable repeated "I repeat Paul Hindemith's words in his 1952 book A Composer's World:"You are not permitted to sell unsanitary macaroni or mustard, but nobody objects to your undermining the public's health by feeding it musical forgeries." (http://theovergrownpath.blogspot.com/2006/04/about-50-musical-forgery.html)

its just unfortunate that there are people who are so mislead.
