Title Curiosities

Some information about these curiosities.

After Beethoven's death, in March 1827, many works were published with the master's name. Most were transcriptions from famous works, or part of famous works.

However, in some cases, the works are apocryphal. This was done on purpose to make money using Beethoven's name. These works, for piano, came mainly from the USA and were published in 1830-1840, when the catalogue of Beethoven's works was not well known.

Apocryphal works for sure, but they have big strength and real virtuosity, as you can listen from the midi files.
