Waldstein Express

6 minutes.  Based on the opening two measures of Beethoven's Sonata No. 21 in C major.
Performed at the 2009 Slobomir International Music Competition in Bijeljina, Repubic of Srpska.
2 pianos - 8 hands,   2 pianos - 4 hands,    1 piano - 4 hands       $15 e-file delivery       ORDER
8 pianos - 16 hands    $30 e-file delivery      ORDER

 Jesse Ayers' Waldstein Express for 2-pianos 8-hands performed May 2009 in Bijeljina, Repubic of Srpska by Dubravka Radovic, Jasna Jusovic, Vesna Zelenovic, Milena Vukosavljevic, Slavisa Stojanovic (all students of Prof. Dr. Dubravka Jovicic).

There were five students who wanted to perform this piece, so to add to the humor of the piece, the fifth player meanders in as though he is a passerby, and rotates into the piece.  I love the enthusiasm in this performance!

The work is based on the opening two measures of Beethoven's Sonata No. 21 in C major "Waldstein" and also briefly quotes Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Bach's Prelude in C major from the WTC, plus a little Gershwin and Jerry Lee Lewis.
