Somewhere (not yet unpacked) I have it on a double disc -- either VoxBox
or Allegretto, IIRC, which means it was under $10.  It appears on disc
1 as the major work with a variety of Beethoven bagatelles and minor
piano pieces -- disc 2 is taken up with about 6 Wagner overtures, incl a
ravishing rendition of Rienzi.  Can't remember who's playing unfortunately
-- at least not till I find which of the twelve boxes of CDs awaiting
unpacking its in.  Cheers
