Beethoven: Piano concerto N°4 II. Andante con moto

-


I consider this movement, Beethoven's most moving work. For me, it tells the story of that day.
Please take a moment; close your eyes, listen, remember that day, never forget.
Piano and Strings representing good and evil; with the fateful moment represented at (3:10).

May the lives lost rest in Peace (4:29).Register to vote at www.vote.gov.
