I added a clean-up tag today with the comment "A little too much gushing and hyperbole for my taste. This is an encyclopedia and not an advertisement. I don't know enough about the pieces to do them justice myself, so I'm adding a cleanup tag". If we are going to gush, we should cite quotes from other composers, musicians and musicologists.

== Not Beethoven's last work for piano ==
I consulted the Henle Urtext edition of the Beethoven miscellaneous piano pieces. The last work listed there is a very brief piece written as a souvenir for the visiting Sarah Burney Paine on 27 September 1825, thus a year after the Op. 126 bagatelles (see [http://unheardbeethoven.org/search.php?Identifier=woo61a] for helpful discussion of this work).

One might ponder if we should say that Op. 126 is Beethoven's last "major" work for piano, but it competes in "major-ness" with the far more substantial Diabelli Variations, written a year earlier. Better to say nothing, I feel. [[User:Opus33|Opus33]] ([[User talk:Opus33|talk]]) 15:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Clean up Tag

[edit]

I added a clean-up tag today with the comment "A little too much gushing and hyperbole for my taste. This is an encyclopedia and not an advertisement. I don't know enough about the pieces to do them justice myself, so I'm adding a cleanup tag". If we are going to gush, we should cite quotes from other composers, musicians and musicologists.

Not Beethoven's last work for piano

[edit]

I consulted the Henle Urtext edition of the Beethoven miscellaneous piano pieces. The last work listed there is a very brief piece written as a souvenir for the visiting Sarah Burney Paine on 27 September 1825, thus a year after the Op. 126 bagatelles (see [1] for helpful discussion of this work).

One might ponder if we should say that Op. 126 is Beethoven's last "major" work for piano, but it competes in "major-ness" with the far more substantial Diabelli Variations, written a year earlier. Better to say nothing, I feel. Opus33 (talk) 15:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
