In this arrangement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 15, Movement 2—a calm, lyrical Adagio reimagined for orchestra with warm woodwind colors and rich string textures. The gentle melodic lines—originally written for piano—are shared among the woodwinds and strings, while subtle brass and low-string support enrich the texture without disturbing the movement’s calm, flowing character. This arrangement preserves Beethoven’s poetic Adagio while giving it the breadth, color, and expressive depth of the symphony orchestra.
