hey everyone...a while ago I got this really old book at a used bookstore of Beethoven waltzes...and I was quite amazed because I never knew Beethoven to have written any waltzes in an opus number as, say...Brahms with op.39 (<-- those are great pieces btw!) Anyways, I was just curious if this book might be some rip off or what?? I checked hte site out and didn't see anything...other then, I think, something about Variations on a waltz (possibly by Diabelli?? I can't remember) This book is put out by "Boosey's Cabinet Classics" It has a number 114 on it but I'm betting that referrs to the publishers. It has a title "BEETHOVEN'S WALTZ ALBUM containing his 45 ORIGINAL WALTZES" I mean, it's really old, falling apart. It has the price "1 Shilling". Anyone atleast heard of Boosey's publications...they're probably defunct by now, but it looks like they came out of New York.
So anyways, I'm curious there these would come from...there's no opus numbers whatsoever. FOr the last 6 it gives a little note that the last six should be played together. I don't know what elese to say so...can anyone help me??
P.S.--they are cool to play, I do enjoy them, but I have no idea if they're "Beethoven's style" or not.
