Beethoven - Seven Bagatelles (Op. 33)

(Op. 33)

Beethoven’s Seven Bagatelles (Op. 33) are the kind of pieces pianists often discover by accident ...and then wonder why they aren’t played more often. They’re concise, full of character and wonderfully varied. Each bagatelle offers a self-contained world, whether witty and quick-footed, lyrically graceful, or tinged with gentle introspection.

Beethoven - Bagatelle in G minor, Op. 119 No. 1

ABRSM Grade 5 – A5

A bagatelle is a short piece, usually light in nature. Beethoven wrote several sets of bagatelles throughout his life, the opus 119 set was completed in 1820. The G minor, op. 119 no. 1 is like a minuet, beginning with a melancholy theme in G minor, followed by a calmer section in E flat major. A short bridge brings us back to the opening theme, this time varied with more activity and an especially athletic left hand part. A Picardy third ends the piece with a smile.
