| Comments: | Requires Boxmark2, MusicSymbols & NWslur fonts. Beethoven's CHORAL FANTASY, for piano, choir, and orchestra in c minor op. 80, marks Beethoven's first successful marriage of choral and instrumental music, something he would revisit in his Ninth Symphony. The Choral Fantasy, which includes a piano solo that Beethoven wrote for himself, was first performed on December 22, 1808, as the finale of a long concert that also featured the premieres of Beethoven's fifth and sixth symphonies. He wrote the work just days before the performance; in fact, scholars believe that most of the piano solo was improvised during the performance. Tempo and articulation based, as closely as possible, on a 1962 recorded performance at Manhattan Center, New York City by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra & Westminster Choir, conducted by Leonard Bernstein with Rudolf Serkin at the piano.
