About this item
Beethoven's Egmont Overture is one of the most famous pieces in the orchestral repertoire. Until now, there has not been a string version that captures the full effect of the original. Since many directors have expressed the need for good literature for larger string programs, Robert McCashin is pleased to offer this shorter arrangement which effectively utilizes the full string orchestra. Excellent for exposing your students to a classic without having to recruit wind players.

Composer
Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. The crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential composers of all time.
Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven moved to Vienna in his early 20s, studying with Joseph Haydn and quickly gaining a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. His hearing began to deteriorate in the late 1790s, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform, even after becoming completely deaf.
