With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to close the gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons after having studied a piano method. Beginning with a performance level which is outlined by pieces such as Bach's Minuet in G (BWV Anh. 116), Mozart's Minuet in F (KV 5) or Schumann's Wilder Reiter (Op. 68/8), each volume contains works by three different composers, with the aim of offering piano pupils (or even adults who want to resume piano playing) a wide range of repertoire pieces on the basis of which they can enhance their technical and musical skills. In contrast to conventional piano anthologies, the pieces' range of levels of difficulty is relatively narrow so that the volume can be used continuously over a period of about two years. The selected repertoire takes into account not only pieces of the classic canon of lessons, but also lesser known works which are in no way of less importance for piano lessons. The explanations included at the end of each volume shall help to deepen the knowledge of musical styles, music history and piano playing. A repertoire chart at the end of each volume gives a rough overview of the levels of difficulty of the selected pieces.After Vol. 1 with works by Bach, Handel and Scarlatti and Vol. 2 with compositions by Haydn, Mozart and Cimarosa, Vol. 3 contains pieces by Beethoven, Schubert und Hummel, including popular pieces such as Beethoven's 'Für Elise' and lesser known, yet stimulating settings by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. / Piano

The 'Eroica Variations'---so-called because they were later re-worked for the finale of Beethoven's third ('Eroica') Symphony, Op. 55---occupy a prominent place in piano literature. Its structural grandeur and the originality and beauty of its piano writing set this work apart. The technical demands are considerable, on par with many other works from Beethoven's middle period. A brilliant finger technique is called for, and often the demands for speed and volume coincide. This edition, edited by Charles Timbrell, is based on the autograph, which served as the source-score for the first edition. / Piano

With notes on performance practice by Jonathan Del Mar and Misha Donat-Bärenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven Piano sonatas. They begin with the frequently played Op.2 Sonatas (Nos. 1-3) (BA10859) which stem from his early yet mature oeuvre when he was developing an independent style from the legacy of Mozart and Haydn. They then proceed to the lyrical D major Sonata Op.28 (BA11814) from his middle period (nicknamed ?Pastorale? by the publisher of the original edition) and finally to the Sonata Op.101 (BA11811) Beethoven?s first sonata specifically intended for the ?hammerklavier? and the one that introduced his esoteric late style to the Piano sonatas.The acclaimed Beethovenspecialist Jonathan Del Mar has consulted every known source for these critical Urtext performing editions.

Funeral March-Beethoven?s four-movement Sonata in A-flat major Op.26 belongs to his most popular works. It is dedicated to Prince Lichnowsky one of his most generous patrons and the dedicatee of for example the Grande Sonate pathétique Op.13 and Symphony No.2 Op.35.The work?s initial drafts date from 1800 01; it was first published in March 1802.This demanding sonata is highly varied in its form: it begins with a set of variations and contains the famous Marcia funebre sulla morte d?un Eroe as its third movement earning it the nickname ?Sonata with the Funeral March?. The identity of the title?s eroe (hero) remains unknown to the present day. The march was performed atBeethoven?s funeral on 29 March 1827 in an arrangement for orchestra.For this Bärenreiter edition Jonathan Del Mar possibly as one of the first editors of a modern edition consulted the composer?s autograph in the original. This enabled him to decipher details of Beethoven?s handwriting in particular with regard to the exact notation of doubtful slurs. The result is a most reliable and thoroughly-researched musical text. Differing readings and editorial decisions are documented in the Critical Commentary. The edition has been finely engraved and includes practical page turns.

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. A complete collection of Beethoven’s Sonatinas and easy Sonatas from all stages of his career.

Opus 13 - Grande Sonate Pathetique-In a span of only eight years between 1794 1802 Beethoven composed twenty Piano sonatas among them his so-called ?Grande Sonate Pathétique? op. 13. It marks the consummation of his Classical style yet also already alludes to his Heroic Period with its intensely Romantic characteristics. Composed in the ?tragic? key of C minor it foreshadows the expressive drama of later masterworks such as the Fifth Symphony or the Coriolan Overture. Of the famous sonatas this one is the most technically manageable and thus proves immensely popular with advanced Piano students. The new Urtext edition from G. Henle Publishers hails from the successfulBeethoven collaboration between Norbert Gertsch and Murray Perahia as usual with fingering and interpretive suggestions from the great pianist.

Like the ?Eroica Variations? op. 35 the Variations op. 34 were composed in 1802 on an original theme. The ?new fashion? Beethoven declared for both works to his publisher becomes apparent in opus 34 through the constant change of keys; from one variation to the next new tone colours and moods continue to unfold spanning the pastoral and the funereal while the melody of the theme remains largely unaltered. For the first time the Variations op. 34 are now available from Henle in a standalone edition. The musical text of the Urtext edition with extensive foreword and commentary was prepared on the basis of the later Critical Apparatus of the BeethovenComplete Edition. Here too the fingering comes from the esteemed hands of Ian Fountain.

Beethoven wrote 32 sonatas for piano. Volume 1, edited by Stewart Gordon, includes the first 8 sonatas (Op. 2, Nos. 1-3; Op. 7; Op. 10, Nos. 1-3; and Op. 13 [Pathtique]), written between 1795 and 1799. Since these autographs no longer exist, this edition is based on the first editions, published by various Viennese engravers. Dr. Gordon discusses a variety of topics including Beethoven's life; the pianos of his time and their limitations; Beethoven's use of articulation, ornamentation, tempo; and the age-old challenge of attempting to determine the definitive interpretation of Beethoven's music. Valuable performance recommendations, helpful fingering suggestions and ornament realizations are offered in this comprehensive critical body of Beethoven's sonatas. Where performance options are open to interpretation, other editors' conclusions are noted, enabling students and teachers to make informed performance decisions.
