The three arrangements for string quintet on this recording were all made during Beethoven’s lifetime, with his approval, although it is not entirely clear who was responsible for the transcriptions. The first is a strikingly successful adaptation of the piano Sonata Opus 13, the Pathètique in C minor. Originally written in 1799, this arrangement was published in about 1807 by Tobias Haslinger who was perhaps also the arranger. Haslinger was again the publisher of the arrangement of the 8th Symphony in F major, Opus 93 which appeared in about 1816 only two years after the symphony¹s first performance in Vienna. The third work on this disc is the 1st Symphony, Opus 21 in C major, first performed in 1800.
