Popular arranger Roy Phillippe brings you this beautiful setting of this classic work for piano. This string arrangement is excellent teaching material for lyrical playing and musicianship for the advancing group. Sonata Pathetique is a timeless masterpiece that will be a superb addition to any program.
The adagio cantabile movement of Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique is one of his most beautiful and recognizable melodies. In this arrangement, I have tried to showcase this lovely piece through a combination of traditional and modern harmonies and voicings. We begin with the melody presented by the viole supposed by the celli and basses. This voicing will occur several times throughout the arrangement. I chose this voicing to mirror Beethoven's legendary dark mood. Come to think of it, I have never seen an image of Beethoven where he's actually smiling! The piano serves both harmonic and rhythmic purposes throughout. The texture thickens with the entrance of the violins in m. 8. while the violins have the melody at this point, the counter lines in the viole and cello are also important. At m. 23, the violins and viole begin a call and response section leading back to the main theme at m. 29. The voicings in m. 29 through m. 32 become more dense and complex. Careful attention to intonation at this point is necessary. Measure 33 returns to the viole on top voicing. Measure 37 begins another call and response section only this time it is between the violins and the celli and basses. The main theme returns in m.51 in the violins, but soon returns to the now familiar viola on top voicing. Measure 59 begins our final statement of the main theme, again with attention given to the counter melodies and intonation. The climax of the arrangement occurs on the downbeat of m. 59, and then gently tapers off to the end. The viole are very important in m. 67, where they echo the violins in the previous measure. I hope you and your orchestra enjoy performing this arrangement. -Roy Phillippe.
