Four main lyrical themes define this movement, which concludes with a scherzando-like section. This wonderful symphony movement is one of Beethoven's most popular.
A changed time signature (3/4 instead of 3/8), the new key (G major instead of A major) and slight changes in instrumentation and setting make it playable for your orchestra.       

Key: Gmaj, Level: medium

A rather quiet scherzo with trio and coda, entirely in the classical manner. The original key has been shifted from E minor/C major to G minor/E-flat major.
Also included in the four-movement arrangement "Mozart meets Beethoven".

Level: medium
 

Although the opus number is higher than that of the violin romance in G major, Beethoven probably already wrote this piece in 1798. The original one-voice solo instrument was supplemented in many ways to form a piano movement. Missing dynamics were applied, the instrumentation slightly expanded. Here, too, there are similar pedagogical intentions as in the Romance op.50 in G major: a quite easily playable piece for your orchestra pianist in the style of the Viennese Classic.

Level:  medium

Beethoven composed the Romance in Gmaj for violine and orchestra in 1808. Usually the part of the solo violin is to difficult for a member of a youth orchestra. But in this version with a relative easy solo piano you give your orchetral pianist the chance to come to the forground. At the same time you allow your orchestra a look into the clear musical structure of the classical epoch.

The present original was written for solo piano in 1915. It consists of three dance pieces, the first and the last of which each contain two different melodies. The titles give an idea of the content. The arrangement uses colorful instrumentation with a variety of percussion and rhythm instruments (including vibraphone and xylophone).
