Jan 22, 2012 - JenD1844, The work does not seem to be well known. A bit of research led me to the (self-authored) Wikipedia page of Victor Victori. The artist uploaded it onto Wikipedia and left it hanging on the Beethoven article until it was removed by other editors. The creator of this video probably found it there.

Mar 12, 2012 - 0:42 Blood, sweat, and tears clearly visible on the original manuscript. Proof of the superhuman effort this creation demanded.

JSLori mowi:

Mar 21, 2012 - Unfortunately, it seems to be smudges or red crayon used for annotations or sealing wax. Blood would have been a better story, and I agree that the effort he put into this work is tremendous.

Apr 30, 2012 - Interesting fact: Grosse Fuge was described as noise by the audience of the time and so Beethoven's publishers insisted he removed it from the set. Which he did.

May 2, 2012 - The Grosse Fuge represents the pinnacle of Beethoven's art. It is the most complex and perfect music in the history of western civilization. The Takács plays like gods!

pablovieravignale mowi:

May 9, 2012 - Yes, the grosse fugue represent the pinnacle of Beethoven art. But the most complex and perfect music in the history of western civilization is the Art of Fugue
