Description
This march in C major begins with a stately melody with dotted-note rhythms, which is shared between the winds and strings. No section is ignored in Philip Clark's orchestration; every instrument has a chance to play thematic material. The more lyric trio features melodic solo woodwinds with the accompaniment in the strings. Excerpted from Three Marches for Piano Duet, Op. 45, March No. 1 is a charming example of Beethoven's work during the middle period of his life. The march is delicate and delightful, with that melodic winsomeness only the best composers can achieve. This would make a wonderful concert opener with its bright tempo, colorful harmonies, and happy mood. (4:00)
