Unheard Beethoven : Erlkönig (Robert-John Edwards)

[@MrLandale]

I actually prefer this to Schuberts verison. I Love it!

[@0ichigan06]

I like Loewe's version over all other

[@josefoconnor394]

@@0ichigan06 at least you didn't say Zelter's but really, Loewe

[@0ichigan06]

@@josefoconnor394 I think that the mysterious part of the erlking is not covered well enough in Schubert's version. Actually, I think that all songs, which were made by both Schubert and Loewe are better made by Loewe (e. g. "Edward" - Loewe; "Altschottische Ballade" - Schubert; Don't ask me why they have different names).

Amazing

[@KDementor]

I inserted the midi of this into orchestral instruments. sounds epic, if he would have ended this piece as a symphony.... wow.

Shit, I'd forgotten how fantastic this is.

You're welcome !

[@larssrouttt]

Great piece! However, I think Schubert's version is better.

lol yeah

[@0ichigan06]

@@ArtVandelay99 Actually, I think that Schubert's version is better too, but Loewe's is the best. You cannot even compare Loewe and Beethoven regarding Erlkönig

Und Schubert war erst 18 Jahre alt, als er den Erlkönig komponierte

Metal as fuck

[@mirrors1]

Ma Schubert ha copiato? O Becker si è ispirato troppo a Schubert per completare lo schizzo di Beethoven?

[@folkloresxo]

No in realtà dagli appunti di Beethoven le battute finali risultavano come sono attualmente nella composizione, si pensa che Becker abbia ripreso quelle battute per l'introduzione non si sa però se fosse quella la volontà di Beethoven. In ogni caso la somiglianza con la versione di Schubert non è dovuta ad una copiatura da parte di Becker.

[@danielescarpetti4398]

@@folkloresxo Però Cees Nieuwenhuizen, a cui dobbiamo, un'altro completamento molto migliore, afferma a tal proposito: « Sappiamo che il pezzo sarebbe iniziato con una grande introduzione che sarebbe stata usata anche alla fine della canzone.»

Can I have a copy of Beethoven's score?

Is this the Becker or Zimmer version?

[@unheardbeethoven5027]

This is the Reinhold Becker version (1897).

[@vesteel]

Thanks!

[@joeottenthal3065]

Where did you get the music for this? I'm starting to program for an undergraduate senior recital and would love to get my hands on this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere!

[@unheardbeethoven5027]

Becker's completion of Erlkönig was published by J.Schuberth&Co in 1897, and can usually be found in university music libraries. But to save you the trouble, I can see whether one of my colleagues at the Unheard Beethoven may have the score in .pdf format. If you're interested, do send me your email address.

Bethoven rules

[@marthafreisinger1625]

This is not from Beethoven This is from Schubert

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

Beethoven and Schubert both wrote music to the poem, 'Erlkönig'.

[@basilbucolic]

So sure?)

[@nomanchaudhry8727]

Martha Freisinger actually story of Erlkönig is a Dutch Fairy Tail. Both Beethoven and Schubert are German and this was a translation of that poem by Goethe, who mistranslated it to mean "King of the Alder trees" instead of "King of the elves." Several composers try their hand at turning this poem into a small musical piece all of which tend to be so low that means one piano and using four different singing voices

[@lionsbru]

Not quite - the original character is Danish (not Dutch), and the poem translation you are thinking of was by Johann Gottfried von Herder in his ballad "Erlkönigs Tochter". Goethe later took and adapted the character when writing this independent poem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlking#In_German_romantic_literature

[@amirmotahari6186]

well then you don't know either of those, in fact all three of them, because there s another version of Erlkoing written by Carl Loewe ! Also, you don't say a composition is "From" someone u say its "BY" or "written by" someone!
