Hess 094 – Version in G Major for Piano of Clärchen’s Lied No. 4 from Egmont, Op. 84 (1810)

This transcription appears as a supplement in the incomplete autograph manuscript of Beethoven’s Egmont music, preserved in Berlin.

  • The piece was not published by Willy Hess in the Supplemente zur Gesamtausgabe (SBG). Hess explained that it “adds nothing new”, which is why it was excluded.
  • Nevertheless, it was later published in the new complete edition Beethovens Sämtliche Werke, Volume XII, Part 1 (Lieder und Gesänge), by G. Henle Verlag, Munich, 1990, on page 271.
