Liszt (1770–1827) brilliantly adapted this magnificent work into a solo piano piece. Every part of it is superb, but the final movement—written in variation form—is particularly worth listening to. Since Beethoven himself composed this very theme as a set of variations for piano, comparing the two performances is a “connoisseur’s delight.” Billett’s performance is flawless from start to finish.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595535737121,"sku":"4945604712637","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604712637.jpg?v=1790481531","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604712637","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
