Description:
When Beethoven visited the director of music at the cathedral in Linz, Franz Xaver Glöggl, in autumn 1812, the latter asked his guest to 'compose socalled Equali for 4 trombones for All Souls' Day 2 November'. Beethoven readily complied - and it was to be his own funeral music. For in 1827 the Equali were sung in an arrangement for male choir as a 'dirge for Beethoven's funeral procession'. The original instrumental version is today a core work in the trombonist's repertoire. Our Urtext edition is based on the musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition and contains a score and single parts (both in the original C and in modern bass clef).
