Overture on the notes B-A-C-H - on sketches by L.v.Beethoven

[gprengel]

in the years 1822 - 1825 Beethoven wrote several sketches for an overture on the  notes B-A-C-H which might be interesting for you to know. This inspired me to write an own overture on these fascinating 4 notes (as also others like Bach himself, Schumann, Lizst, ... have also tried). Beethoven's sketches I marked with yellow in the score - giving you a good way to get to know these in an orchestral realisation.
