The third Steinway Synbchron Exploration focus Ludwig van Beethoven the most popular student aswell of Georg Albrechtsberger as of Joseph Haydn and at the same time a well known teacher not only of musicians like Ferdinand Ries or Carl Czerny.
To keep the ears open and unprejudiced by many previously heard interpretations of the same music I chose again two still ambitious, but lesser known compositions (hard enough for someone like Beethoven)
The Rondo Bb Major Kinsky-Halm Nr. 6
....belongs to the earlier pianomusic while it shares the vivid pianistic energy of many better known earlier Beethoven Pianosonatas.
The Fantasy op.77
....seemed to have been stil a bit more popular in the late 19th and early 20th century as it is today combining powerful pianistic eruptions with the deep silence of some of the deepest adagios we know from Beethovens Pianomusic.
If you would ask me, are Pianosamples in general ready to play seriously Beethoven, I would have strong doubts for the most available Samplesets,
If you would ask me only for the Synchron Steinway, than: yes this could perhaps be a Pianosampleset that might do the Job.
