About

Most of the pieces on this album have been designated ‘WoO’ (Works without Opus Number) or bear the numbering from the Hess catalogue of unpublished or unfinished pieces. These include the piano transcription of the topically programmatic Battle Symphony (Wellington’s Victory or The Battle of Vitoria) and the genial variations on Rule Britannia and God Save the King. The Marches, Menuets and Ecossaises derive from a variety of sources, while there is a strangely tragic aspect to the Waltz in C minor.

Awards and reviews

February 2020

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these obscure corners of Beethoven’s output. The pianism is superb...Mr. Petersson clearly relishes the delight and glee in much of this music, and he presents it very well.
