Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Ilio Barontini. This edition: pdf, streaming. 19th Century, Classical, Instructional. Score. 5 pages. Digilio Publishing #1244123. Published by Digilio Publishing (A0.1678694).Beethoven’s Turkish March (from The Ruins of Athens) belongs to the musical genre known as Turkery, highly appreciated by European audiences in the 18th & 19th centuries because of its festive and ironic mood, highlighted by the use of cymbals, triangles and bass drums. This instrumentation evoked the sounds of janissary bands, which influenced European ones in other aspects, such as discipline and uniforms.
The Ruins of Athens Op. 113 (for reciting voice, choir and orchestra) was composed by Beethoven in 1811. The Turkish March is the fourth scene, in which the Turks, with their unsheathed sabres, are crossing the stage. It’s a colorful piece, whose theme is the one from the Piano Variations Op. 76, dating back to a few years before.
Ilio Barontini’s version, perfect for a teacher-student piano duo, allows for recreating this witty and playful piece at four hands, investing the audience with rhythmic energy and refined irony.
