Hi guitarists,
I am Álex Sánchez España. It is a pleasure to tell to you that Beethoven´s Sonata WoO 33 / 4&5 has been edited for guitar in Chanterelle by Takeo Sato and me.
Score:

Ludwig van Beethoven Sonata WoO 33 / 4&5
This work has been a mystery since many years. With this edition we would like to confirm that this Sonata was indeed composed by Beethoven. We also would like to present a serious edition, true to the original manuscript, including extracts from the facsimile. In addition, we want to expose a set of facts and sources that support that it could have been composed original for Terz-guitar (a minor third higher tuned guitar, common at the 19th century).
In this research have collaborated, among others, The Beethoven House Bonn and The Berlin State Library.
Among other things, it was discovered that this Sonata was written using Alto and tenor Clefs, unusually, in the exact range of the Terz-guitar and in the real octave. There is a really low probability that a composer would write a work between 2 and 4 voices, 14 minutes long, that is playable on the guitar almost without changes.
After reading J.A. Ubach´s research we found that most guitarists did not know about this Sonata or thought that it was a rumor and there was no more information about it.
In spite of some evidence and many indications we can not prove that this Sonata was written for the Terz-guitar. But finally, we have a piece of Beethoven that can be played on guitar, possibly originally composed for the Terz-guitar.
I hope you like it!
Regards,
Álex Sánchez España

trills. Renaissance-style trills seem out of place, especially
when weakly executed. Other than
that, and a shortage of dynamics, it was an excellent performance.
Without qualification a fine arrangement.
I have never understood guitar duos not using a capo occasionally,
without transposing of course. The stink of amateurism should not
cling to it, IMO. Why not six bass open strings instead of three?
"Farewell to the Piano" always seemed like an excellent prospect
as a guitar solo of Beethoven. The first part sounds like Sor.
Could it actually be Sor? Regards, daveA
