Große Fuge B-Dur Op. 134 / Drei Märsche Op. 45 / Variationen WoO 67 Waldstein / WoO 74 Ich Denke Dein / Sonate D-dur Op. 6 Für Klavier Zu Vier Händen

This 1977 release from the East German state-owned label Eterna compiles a selection of Ludwig van Beethoven's compositions for piano four-hands. The centerpiece of this collection is the Große Fuge, Op. 134, which is Beethoven’s own piano duet arrangement of his famously complex late string quartet movement, originally intended as the finale of the String Quartet No. 13, Op. 130.

The performances feature pianists Jörg Demus and Norman Shetler, two highly regarded interpreters of the Germanic classical canon. During this era, Eterna focused on high-fidelity recordings of the standard repertoire to highlight the cultural prestige of the German Democratic Republic. The cover design adheres to the minimalist, functional aesthetic typical of late-period Eterna releases, prioritizing clear typography and archival presentation over flamboyant promotional art.
