Bookended by two famous sonatas the Waldstein op. 53 and the Appassionata op. 57 the F-major Sonata op. 54 has always lived in the shadows regrettably. In this first large-scale two-movement sonata Beethoven experiments with striking character contrasts in the first movement and a virtuosic perpetuum mobile duet in the second. In both interpretation and mastery of technical difficulties this sonata therefore poses a considerable challenge for pianists and might have been avoided for this reason as well. The sonata shares the fate of many early works by Beethoven in one respect: no autograph exists. Murray Perahia and Norbert Gertsch have thus only been able to examinean original edition as a source for their new edition. As always with the new editions of Beethoven sonatas from Henle Maestro Perahia also provides the fingerings ??? and his own commentary on the meaning of this sonata.

A further edition in Henle's highly regarded Beethoven revisions bears witness to their fruitful collaboration with the renowned artist Murray Perahia. This time the established editorial team Gertsch/Perahia has devoted itself toa truly monumental work: Beethoven?s famous ?Waldstein Sonata? was composed in close proximity to the ?Eroica? and the first sketches for ?Fidelio?. The boldness of the first movement already surpasses anything that had beenventured up to that point. Beethoven dedicated it to his friend and patron Count Waldstein. As always Murray Perahia not only provides valuable fingering suggestions but also shares his personal thoughts on this work in a shortessay.

Op. 2 No. 3-Beethoven’s three Piano sonatas op. 2 were the first works in this genre to which he gave an opus number thus signalling to the music world the special importance that he assigned to them. He wrote them during his first years inVienna and along with his op. 1 piano trios op. 1 they helped to establish his reputation as one of the most significant composers of his time. These three sonatas all of them small masterpieces are arranged in ascendingorder of difficulty and virtuosity. This large-scale Sonata in C is notable for its swift outer movements marked Allegro con brio and Allegro assai respectively. They demand a considerable degree of virtuosity from evenexperienced performers. If all goes well the audience will marvel! Murray Perahia’s fingerings have been tried and tested over several decades of performing these works and offer a new approach to these milestones of the pianorepertoire.

Piano Sonata no. 5 in c minor op. 10 no. 1-Decisive and manly ??? most profound sentiment and delicacy ??? and imaginative humour??? ??? thus does Beethoven???s contemporary Carl Czerny accurately describe the three movements of this expressive sonata. As no autograph manuscript has survived the first edition of the three sonatas op. 10 published in Vienna in 1798 forms the sole basis for the revised Urtext edition of the Sonata in c minor. Yet another jewel stemming from the collaboration between Beethoven specialist Norbert Gertsch and star pianist Murray Perahia.

Nos. 19 And 20 Op. 49. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. revised edition of cor 56 / Niveau : Facile / Gertsch, Norbert / Perahia, Murray / Répertoire / Piano

Three Études. For solo piano. The first of these Études was written in memory of Mark Ray, former Head of Keyboard Studies at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), who died in tragic circumstances in 2006. It makes use of syncopated rhythms and percussive articulation, with a passing reference to Ravel?s G major concerto, the work he performed in concert when he was a student at the RNCM. The Étude was premiered by Peter Lawson in 2006. Études 2 and 3 were added to complete the set in 2020. Étude 2 is dedicated to Murray McLachlan, and is a study in textural control, with ?a quiet wistfulness, floating with reflection calmly over gentle quaver figurations?. Étude 3 is dedicated to Jonathan Scott, and has more than a hint of the motoric rhythms and folk melodies of Bartok. It is ?an extremely energised essay that encourages virtuosic bravura and élan? (McLachlan).

Op. 2 Nr. 1-Beethoven?s three piano sonatas op. 2 were the first works in this genre to which he gave an opus number thus signalling to the musical world the special importance that he assigned to them. He wrote them during his first yearsin Vienna and along with his op. 1 piano trios they helped to establish his reputation as one of the most significant composers of his time. These three sonatas all of them small masterpieces are arranged in ascending orderof difficulty and virtuosity. The four-movement Sonata in f minor is often called the ?Little Appassionata? because it shares with the famous Sonata op. 57 not just its key but also its impassioned mood especially in the lastmovement. Murray Perahia?s fingerings have been tried and tested over several decades of performing these works and offer a new approach to these milestones of the piano repertoire.

Beethoven gave this sonata the unusual title ?Sonata quasi una Fantasia ? which it shares along with its opus number with the considerably more famous ?Moonlight? Sonata. Both sonatas along with the preceding sonata with the funeral march op. 26 and the three sonatas op. 31 soon to follow usher in Beethoven?s conquest of new musical territory in this genre. With a complex structure that oscillates between fantasia and sonata op. 27 no. 1 has long presented pianists with great interpretive challenges that once they have been overcome bring to light a true jewel. G. Henle Publishers now also offers this sonata in a new edition with provenfingering and interpretive suggestions by Murray Perahia and edited by the team of Beethoven experts Gertsch and Perahia.
