Serenade D major op. 25
Studien-Edition
for: Flute, violin, viola
Study score (Urtext edition)
Item no.: 477751
What occasioned Beethoven to write a composition for such an unusual and yet sonorous group of instruments? Was it perhaps commissioned by a nobleman who played music with such a group and needed music? Whatever the reason behind it, opus 25 is one of Beethoven’s few chamber music works that did not have a bass instrument.
Despite the unusual combination of instruments, Beethoven had no difficulty in finding a publisher for his serenade- shortly afterwards he even turned to the work again and revised an arrangement for flute and piano (op. 41), which had been made by a third party. Our revised edition follows the musical text which will soon be published in volume VI/1 of our newBeethoven Complete Edition.?
