CCCVI. BEETHOVEN, Ludwig van: Canon à 2 in A-Flat Major, Hess 275

CCCVI. BEETHOVEN, Ludwig van (1770-1827)

Canon à 2 in A-Flat Major, Hess 275 (1803)
Walter Olbertz, piano
(0:32)


Beethoven was fond of composing short canons. He would usually set them to humorous, sometimes bawdy, texts [see Post CCLXVI, for example] ...

This one was found in the "Eroica" sketchbook. It has no text.
