Allegro molto Arrangement for solo piano Katsaris

0000 - Allegro ma non troppo un poco maestoso

1421 - Scherzo

This is the fourth and final movement of Beethoven's 3rd symphony as arranged by Franz Liszt and performed by Cyprien Katsaris. There are a few differences between the sheet music and the performance, most notably in the cadenza at the end of the movement. Katsaris's cadenza is more virtuosic than Liszt's, and it includes some elements that are not found in the original score.

Katsaris's performance of the Allegro molto is characterized by his technical brilliance and his deep understanding of the music. He brings out the drama and passion of the movement, and he makes it clear why this is one of Beethoven's most popular works.

Katsaris's recording of the Allegro molto is a must-have for any fan of piano music. It is a stunning performance that showcases the talents of one of the world's greatest pianists.

Other pianists who have recorded the Allegro molto include Leslie Howard, Konstantin Scherbakov, Yury Martynov, and Hinrich Alpers. However, Katsaris's performance is arguably the definitive recording of this work.

In February 1971, Katsaris gave a recital at Trinity College Dublin. The program included the Allegro molto, and Katsaris's performance was met with great acclaim. The Irish Times wrote that Katsaris "played with a brilliance and passion that left the audience spellbound."
