Piece for Piano: arrangement of Chr.F.D.Schubart's "Kaplied" by Beethoven (between 1788-1790)

Biamonti 20, Hess 63
About as minor as you can get. This is a reduction and fingering of a small lied of the blasphemous Christian Firedrich Daniel Schubart. The text of the work, written while Schubart was in prison, protests the sale of German citizens to foreign armies. For Beethoven scholars, this work holds a special interest apparently because Beethoven supplied his own fingering.
The folks at Unheard Beethoven have transcribed it for midi.
