In 2020 we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven. The BEETHOVEN PASTORAL PROJECT aims to draw attention to urgent questions about environmental protection and global sustainability, and achieving the aims of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Beethoven’s symphony takes approx. 40 minutes to play. The Liszt piano transcription is a colossal virtuoso work. The Ernst Pauer transcription is a little easier to play. Both these scores can be downloaded free from the IMSLP Music Library: [ Ссылка ]
