A quick tip or two regarding classical technique: Make sure your fingers are coming down on the string straight rather than at a sharp angle (as is common when playing rock guitar) and be careful with your pick-hand technique, being mindful to change the angle of attack so your hand doesn’t rest across the strings but comes down on top of them.
Start slowly with this until you get it up to speed, and be sure to shift you hand position economically. Rest strokes are a no-no, as the notes need to ring.
I originally wrote this out as triplets in 2/4 – though I’m not sure if Beethoven actually wrote it that way or as 3/4, 6/8, or something else entirely – and in the key of D minor. However, a friend forwarded me a transcription by a guy using the name “John 316″ which is in A minor and written in 8s in 6/4. This allows the upper voice to come in more easily than my original version, so I re-wrote it borrowing heavily from John. My thanx to him for transcribing it much better than I managed!
Enjoy!
