Beethoven: Sonata No. 22 in F Major, Opus 54

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. 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. / Gertsch, Norbert / Perahia, Murray / Répertoire / Piano

One must look long and hard to find a Piano pupil who hasn’t studied Beethoven’s two “sonate facile” Op.49. They are not only relatively easy to play but highly lyrical and effective ideally combining joy in music-making with a mastery of early classical literature. The two works were composed much earlier than the opus number suggests. Beethoven wrote them around 1797/98 during a time when he also worked on one of his most important sonatas the “Grande Sonate pathétique” Op.13.Jonathan Del Mar currently one of the most renowned Beethoven scholars stands for a meticulouslyedited Urtext edition on the basis of an intensive study of all sources. Performers are presented with a musical text which is based on the latest research findings and whose fine engraving and practical page turns facilitate the study of these works. This Urtext edition includes an informative Introduction and valuable notes on historical performance practice. Here the Pianist will also find information regarding the dynamics of the second sonata whose sources contain hardly any dynamic markings at all. Source discrepancies and editorial principles are discussed in the detailed Critical Commentary.- Up-to-date scholarly-critical Urtext edition- Well-presented engraving- Practical page turns- Relatively easy to play- Enlightening Introduction and notes on period performance practice (Eng/Ger)

Rondo in C major op. 51 no. 1-The two Rondos op. 51 were written independently of one another and only later consolidated into a single opus by Beethoven???s publisher. The first of these works from 1797 quickly became popular on account of how it combines simple catchy melody with surprising modulations and expressive dramatic eruptions within a compact form. With its moderate degree of difficulty the piece is ideal preparation before embarking on Beethoven???s piano sonatas. 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 latestscholarship.
