Ludwig van Beethoven : Master Series for the Young - Volume 5

Unlocking the Masters Series-Ludwig van Beethoven's chamber works are some of his most revered compositions. Victor Lederer guides the serious nonprofessional listener through this oeuvre in his new book Beethoven's Chamber Music: A Listener'sGuide.Lederer shows how Beethoven's sonatas for violin and piano overflow with high energy and spirits showing a creative force that transcended personal struggles. The “Kreutzer” sonata Op. 47 displaysall the power of the master's middle period while the G Major sonata Op. 96 foreshadows Beethoven's mellower late works. The author also considers the sonatas for cello and piano which span Beethoven's early middle and lateperiods and examines the piano trios including the immense “Archduke” trio.A highlight of the book is an exploration of the sixteen string quartets which represent the pinnacle of Beethoven's achievement inchamber music. Lederer explains how the middle-period quartets starting with the epic “Razumovsky” set shatter molds and create new procedures often on a stunning scale and why the five late quartets and the GreatFugue are considered the peaks of the quartet literature and of Beethoven's own output. Lederer helps both new and experienced listeners grasp the strangeness and grandeur of these astonishing creations.The book comes witha compact disc containing musical selections drawn from critically acclaimed performances on Naxos Records.

from Vol. II-A truly magnificent piano work as you might expect from the Great Master! The Sonata in A Flat Op.26 is a challenging and impressive piece that carries his characteristic grandeur detail and expression all evident right from the start. Structurally this piece contains great interest what with the ‘theme and variation’ form of the first movement and the juxtaposition of a short Scherzo movement between the first movement and the slow third movement Maestoso Andante. Also interestingly the fourth movement Allegro ends with the same hushed dynamics with which it begins which contrasts strikingly with the usual fiery and rousing ending oneencounters in the 'finale' of a sonata. This edition of the work is taken from the renowned ABRSM 'Signature' series and has been edited by Barry Cooper with fingerings by David Ward.
