Here is another classical music lesson in Metal edition presented by THE GREAT KAT that is Katherine Thomas, the goddess of guitar and violin…

Again, on the occasion of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday, the Great Katherine presented her own arrangement of fragment of Ludwig van Beethoven’s music, which was written in 1809-1810, for J. W. Goethe, for the staging of the play “Egmont”. This concert overture (in F minor) is one of the most popular the composer’s overtures…

In this arrangement, Katherine gave free rein to her musical fantasies, harnessing a small symphony orchestra and an actor to perform this work… And this time the composition is already typical of THE GREAT KAT… The seriousness and dignity of the original version have been replaced by the fury and psychotic cannonade of sounds, which begins with the military-sinister introduction, strong growling dialogues. And then just there are the guitar-solo arrangements sharp as whipping against the background with delicate but serious sounds of a symphony orchestra…

Of course, this very short track is fast-paced and mercilessly penetrates the sense of hearing. It shows a very insane arrangement. Prolonged exposure for this music could really lead to madness.

And if you are interested, we invite you to the old interview with THE GREAT KAT on our website.
