Grosse Fuge in B-flat Major, Op. 133: Post Scriptum

DAILY DOSE of BEETHOVEN (June 11, 2020)

We thank our readers for journeying with us through the 8-Part discourse on the amazing Grosse Fuge. For those who are new to our Daily Dose, you can read them in the posts of June 2-9, 2020.

Before we move on, we share here all three audio recording of the complete Grosse Fugue that we admire the most. While we used Quartetto Italiano’s rendition as example throughout the discussions, we love all three! Please let us know who is your favorite!
