Vocal score. See EP11251 for the score (withpiano part). Selected from Op.108 and WoO 152-157.
While working on his final piano sonatas Beethoven was commissioned to write a large number of folk song arrangements, most of them to English melodies (Ye Shepherds; Faithfu' Johnnie; The Soldier; The Chase of the Wolf; etc.). A selection of these appears in this revised new edition. The 15 pieces are grouped into trios, duets and solo songs for every register and make a welcome addition to every Lieder. The separate vocal score makes the pieces easierfor singers to perform as all stanzas are placed directly beneath the lines of the music.
