The last anthem in Group G! The finish line draws ever nearer...
I have been in love with this anthem for a long time. The Formula 1 Podium has featured this anthem on so many occasions since 2010 because of German driver Sebastian Vettel's dominance, and the dominance of the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 team this year. In being a die-hard Formula 1 fan, I have listened to this anthem on many occasions, never becoming bored by it and always mesmerized by its beauty.
The arrangement I created here is a reworking of part of the famous Op. 76 No. 3 string quartet by Joseph Haydn. Since Joseph Haydn was the original composer of the melody, I was able to use his work in my own performance of the German National Anthem.
Haydn uses the melody of Deutschlandlied in the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 76 No. 3, called the "Emperor" Quartet. This movement is a theme and variations movement (meaning that the melody is varied after its original statement, often getting more complex). I used the second variation as the basis of my arrangement. All of the notes you hear are those written by Haydn, but I have had to change the registers of the voices to make them suitable for piano playing (for example, the notes that were played by the higher instrument, the second violin, might be put in the bass for my arrangement).
I left the key unaltered from Haydn's choice of G major (although I had originally thought of performing it in the common key of B-flat major).
Franz Joseph Haydn originally composed the melody in 1797 to provide music to a poem called "God save Franz the Emperor". This was intended as a gift to Francis II, the Holy Roman Emperor, on his birthday.
Haydn used this melody again in 1797 in the second movement of his Op. 76, No. 3 String Quartet. The movement is absolutely splendid and I highly recommend you take some time to listen to it: • Video . The sheet music for the "Emperor" Quartet can be found here: burrito.whatbox.ca:15263/imgln.... The second movement begins on page 12.
The lyrics of Deutschlandlied were written by German poet, August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben in 1841.
After the Second World War, West Germany remained without an official anthem, but adopted Deutschlandlied as its anthem in 1952 amid growing needs for proper diplomatic procedures. During East Germany's existence between 1949-1990, they used the anthem Auferstanden aus Ruinen (English: Risen from Ruins). Deutschlandlied was officially adopted as the national anthem of all of Germany after German reunification in 1990.

Ugh, pls don't take this the wrong way but too much improvisation on that. I was a bit disappointed as Germany's anthem is one of my favorite. But this doesn't change the fact that you're still a great piano player. Love your work :)
