The original version of this Scherzo over Beethoven -commissioned by Jeunesses Musicales- is for string quartet. The Signum Quartett, from Stuttgart, premiered it in November 1995, at the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid. Almost simultaneously, I wrote the chamber orchestra version, premiered by Orquestra de Cambra de l'Empordà, at the Barcelona Municipal Conservatory, some days later. The four-hands piano duet composed by the sisters Ester and Eulàlia Vela, asked me to write the present version, what I did, between Singapore and manila, all along 2002. The composition is dedicated to the Vela sisters.
This is a piece based on the very first notes of For Elisa, by Beethoven, a fragment that every person who has no idea about music uses to play when first sitting at a piano, as if obeying to an almost anthropological impulse. On the other hand, the reference done in its title to Chuck Berry's Roll over Beethoven, wants to evoke the amount of rock I played when I was young.
Reporting its premiere, a critic wrote: "An original, amazing, imaginative partition with a direct and very clear message; a suggestive and interesting joke that puts in evidence maestro Colome’s characteristical witt".
