It was not until Franz Liszt, decades after Beethoven\\u2019s death, that a pianist was able to master this\\r\u003cbr\u003esonata\\u2019s madcap technical challenges.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe version for string quartet prepared by David Plylar, a\\r\u003cbr\u003ecurator at the Library of Congress, was initially intended as a guide through the structural thicket of this gigantic opus. In this rendering by the Leipzig String Quartet, however, it also turns out to be an extremely revealing expansion of our musical horizons.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eTwo transcriptions by Beethoven\\u2019s contemporaries enrich the program. Along with the Gewandhaus violist Peter Michael Borck, the quartet members present Beethoven\\u2019s third attempt to write an overture for his opera Leonore. At the very latest when Borck reaches for the famous offstage\\r\u003cbr\u003etrumpet, the last skeptic will become a firm believer in the quintet\\u2019s symphonic qualities. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe considerably trimmer final version of the Fidelio overture impressively rounds off this extraordinary project.\u003cp\u003eGrosse Sonate F\\xfcr Das Hammerklavier Op.106 - Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScherzo.
