Ludwig Van Beethoven - In Questa Tomba Oscura - WoO 133 - A Score for Voice and Piano

In questa tomba oscura, WoO133, is the result of a musical challenge issued in 1807-1808, when composers were invited to set the poem by Giuseppe Carpani (1752-1825), an Italian poet resident in Vienna. Sixty-three composers obliged, but Beethoven's setting is the most memorable and favoured version. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) was a seminal German composer. He had a significant influence on the transition from the Classical to the Romantic era of music, and to this day he is considered to be one the most celebrated and important composers of all time. This volume is highly recommended for fans of Beethoven's music, and it constitutes a must-have for collectors of important classical scores. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library of the most well-known and universally enjoyed works of classical music ever composed, reproduced from authoritative editions for the enjoyment of musicians and music students the world over. This edition also includes an introductory biography of Beethoven written by Joseph Otten.
