Op.134 and Beetehoven's last work for keyboard.
It's wonderful. There's a tremendous performance on Nonesuch by Paul
Jacobs and Ursula Oppens (two pianos - according to Jacobs' liner note it's
practically impossible to play at a single keyboard); at least I seem to
recall that it's been reissued on CDm but don't know if it's still in
print.
C/w Busoni's Fantasia Contrappuntistica and his arrangement of Mozart's
piece (name?) for musical clock. Great disc.
