When Beethoven visited the director of music at the cathedral in Linz, Franz Xaver Glöggl, in autumn 1812, the latter asked his guest to "compose socalled Equali for 4 trombones for All Souls? Day [2 November]?. Beethoven readily complied ? and it was to be his own funeral music. For in 1827 the Equali were sung in an arrangement for male choir as a ?dirge for Beethoven?s funeral procession?.
The original instrumental version is today a core work in the trombonist?s repertoire. Henle's Urtext edition is based on the musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition and contains a score and single parts (both in the original C and in modern bass clef).
