    I think Beethoven would've been surprised with the warmth and soul of the guitar's sound. Excellente rendition, thanks for sharing!

      @@ArtsAscendent piano is just a loud percussion instrument. hah! depends on the piano, but thanks for the laugh. Also, if the guitar can shape and sustain at a more desireable level as it pertains to this piece, don't you think Beethoven would've composed it for guitar? I have to agree with John above - if the melody of this arrangement is dependent on harmonics, then it is indeed approaching the limits of the instrument to embody this composition. Personally, I really enjoyed the arrangment for what it is. But it still strikes me as a lesser imitation of the genius of one of Beethovens greatest accomplishments for piano.
