Piano Sonata #21 C Major Op. 53 (Waldstein)

Considéré par beaucoup comme le dernier représentant du classicisme viennois, Ludwig Van Beethoven, mort à 57 ans est un génie qui a composé quantité d'oeuvres dont Piano Sonata No. 21 C major op. 53 (Waldstein) pour Piano. Ce sont les éditions Henle qui ont éditées cette oeuvre de Ludwig Van Beethoven. Il ne vous reste plus qu'à la jouer. / Piano / Partition

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.

Andante in F major WoO 57 (Andante favori)-First conceived in 1803/04 as the slow movement of the Piano Sonata in C major op. 53 (the Waldsteinâ? Sonata) the Andante turned out too long in Beethovenâ??s view and was replaced. Beethoven had it published as a standalone movement presumably in 1805. The movement marked Grazioso con moto â? is characterised by a large variety of compositional techniques ranging from simple chord progressions to orchestral-like octave runs. Because of its particular popularity this single movement was published as Andante favoriâ? in its second printing â?? a moniker that apparently harks back to Beethoven himself. Based on her preliminary research for the critical Complete Edition Beethoven specialist Joanna Cobb Biermann has carefully revised the musical text of the Henle Urtext edition and updated the preface to reflect the latest scholarship.

F-Major Op. 54-Beethoven?s Sonata in F major Op.54 was written in 1804 just after the highly virtuosic ?Waldstein? Sonata and before the 'Appassionata? Sonata and has unjustly stood in the shadow of its predecessor and successor ever since. Its two movements are characterized by the friction between traditional form and creative abandon. While the opening movement marked ?In Tempo d?un Menuetto? plays with Baroque gestures and a sharply contrasting metrically distorted ?Trio? the toccata-like ?Allegretto? fluctuates between etude and sonata form. The unusual construction of the sonata caused perplexity even with notable critics who found themselves at a loss unable to recognize themaster. As such the work remains somewhat an insider tip until today a treasure to be discovered.For his new Urtext edition the world-renowned Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar has examined meticulously all available sources and presents a reliable musical text.
