Rosemary Brown (1916 - 2001) was a medium who sensationally claimed that dead composers were dictating new musical works to her. She created a small media sensation in the 1970s by claiming to produce works dictated to her by Franz Liszt Johannes Brahms Johann Sebastian Bach Rachmaninov Franz Schubert Edvard Grieg Claude Debussy Chopin Schumann and Ludwig Beethoven. The opinions of musical critics were varied on the merit of Rosemary's transcriptions but most agreed that in their style they bore a great resemblance to the composers' published works.Opinion is still divided about her claims and although there is scepticism many musicians of note such asRichard Rodney Bennett who said A lot of people can improvise but you couldn't fake music like this without years of training. I couldn't have faked some of the Beethoven myself have shown great interest.In 1969 she was put to a test by the British Broadcasting Corporation who set her at a piano where she waited for the spirit of Liszt to contact her. In due course she produced a piece that she said had been dictated to her by the dead composer. It proved too hard for her to play so another pianist was engaged to play it. The piece was subsequently studied by a Liszt expert who said it had definite similarities to Liszt's work.

Beethoven?s Piano Sonata no. 7 in D major is the third from his Opus 10, which appeared in 1798, and simultaneously the heavyweight of this group of works. As one of the most powerful sonatas from the early years, it captivates with its very broad spectrum of moods and highly elaborate interplay of motivic elements. At the centre is the famous Largo e mesto, mournful, plaintive and almost tragic in the profundity of its emotion. It is framed by an energetic first movement and a nimble Menuetto. The conclusion is formed by a vivacious-playful Finale which is reminiscent of Haydn?s humourful escapades. In an in-depth introduction, Murray Perahia discusses this masterpiece. A further edition from the Gertsch-Perahia workshop for the new edition of Beethoven?s Complete Piano Sonatas, as always with fingerings by the cult pianist.

In Es Für Klavier Op. 7-The earliest sketches for Beethoven’s Grande Sonate Op.7 date from 1796 and the first edition was issued by the publisher Artaria Vienna in October 1797. It is dedicated to Beethoven’s pupil Anna Luise Barbara (Babette) Countess Keglevicz in whom if Carl Czerny is to be believed he was passionately in love. For this reason it is sometimes known by its German nickname “Die Verliebte” (The Lover).This work is one of the longest and most demanding of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. Its four movements cover a wide range of emotions – a challenge that the dedicatee who was 16 at the time and only started taking lessons from Beethoven in1797 possibly felt unable to master.Jonathan Del Mar the worldwide authority and acclaimed specialist on Beethoven is editing all of this composer's piano sonatas in B?renreiter Urtext editions incorporating the latest findings of Beethoven scholarship and evaluating every available source.
