Description
The bagatelles reflect Beethovens diverse compositional cosmos in miniature. Technically, they range from moderate dexterity to demanding virtuosity.

In addition to the well-known collections opp. 33, 119 and 126, ten pieces were found after Beethovens death in an envelope labelled Bagatelles. These included the revised version of Für Elise as well as two further bagatelles in previously unpublished versions.

New interesting findings regarding interpretation, a compelling Foreword and insightful notes on Viennese piano playing in Beethovens time (Ger/Eng) as well as a detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) offer an abundance of information and a new perspective on Beethovens bagatelle uvre.
