Adrienne Albert about her piano piece "Homage to B7":
"When the wonderful pianist, Susanne Kessel, approached me to compose a short work for her extraordinary project, "250 piano pieces for Beethoven", I was honoured and wondered what could I possibly compose that could, in any way, speak about the greatest composer of all. After several months of revisiting some of my favorite Beethoven works from the Moonlight Sonata to his last string quartets, I finally chose to compose a piano work based on the most beautiful movement of the 7th Symphony, the Allegretto, a work that brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it performed. It is said tgat at its premiere, Beethoven remarked that it was one of his best works, I think most audiences would agree".
