CCCXI. BEETHOVEN, Ludwig van (1770-1827)

1. Allegro con brio (2:32)
2. Minuetto quasi Allegretto (2:47)

Jean-Pierre Rampal, flute


As Beethoven prepared to leave Bonn for Vienna (for the first time), he said goodbye to some friends with short pieces like this one. The autograph score bears the dedication "for friend Degenhart."
