Surely -someone- on the List has the Beethoven Box on DG? Don't have the Box, I actually got the Equale from a disk of trombone quartets, titled, I think, The Four Aces, almost all of it transcriptions. The Equale (there are three) are, in essence, chorales. I've played a transcription of these for horn quartet, in a horn master class at a music camp I attended recently. The sound was much deeper, richer, than the trombone quartet, I can only assume, though, that Beethoven would have written the Equale for this group instead. <sigh> If only there had been valves... ~John~
