Ludwig van Beethoven:The 35 Piano Sonatas - Volume 2

With his sonatas op. 31 composed in 1802 Beethoven for the last time grouped together piano sonatas under one opus number. The centrepiece of the collection is undoubtedly the dramatic Sonata in D minor nicknamed 'Tempest' which already fascinated his contemporaries. According to Anton Schindler, who asked the composer about the 'key' to this work as well as to the sonata op. 57 ('Appassionata'), Beethoven advised him: 'Just read Shakespeares Tempest'. Jonathan Del Mar, currently one of the most renowned Beethoven scholars, stands for a meticulously edited Urtext edition on the basis of an intensive study of all sources. Performers are presented with a musical text offering new readings and based on the latest research findings. The detailed Critical Commentary accounts for sources, readings and editorial emendations. In this edition great care has been given to a user-friendly layout which on the one hand reflects the flow and tempo of the music and on the other hand facilitates the study of this complex music by means of a transparent and clear appearance on the page as well as good page turns. Particularly enlightening is the chapter on period performance practice which sheds light on certain issues of Beethovens instruments and their range, the usage of the pedals, tempo, dynamics, articulation and ornaments. / Piano

The three popular sonatas op. 10 were written between the end of 1795 and the beginning of 1798, only shortly after Beethoven had completed his first fully-fledged sonatas op. 2. In the press they were announced as ?3 very nice piano sonatas' of a composer whose name would sufficiently guarantee ?for the quality of his work to the audience.' The three technically and musically demanding works, which reach their peak with the third sonata and its highly expressive 'Largo e mesto?, have their firm place in advanced piano teaching. The musicologist Jonathan Del Mar, intimate connoisseur of Beethoven's music, evaluates all sources and editions published during Beethoven's lifetime for the present scholarly-critical Urtext edition. Particularly enlightening is the chapter on period performance practice which sheds light on certain issues of Beethoven's instruments and their range, the usage of the pedals, tempo, dynamics, articulation and ornaments. The Introduction offers information on the work and its genesis. The detailed Critical Commentary accounts for sources, readings and editorial emendations.

Bärenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas with an important contribution. The frequently played Sonatas op. 2, Nos. 1-3, stem from the time when the young composer took lessons from Joseph Haydn in Vienna and are dedicated to his teacher. After Beethoven's three early sonatas which he wrote as a youth in Bonn, the so-called 'Kurfürsten-Sonaten?, Beethoven started 10 years later, in the mid 1790s, to develop a style independent from the legacy of Mozart and Haydn and presented with his op. 2 his first fully valid piano sonatas. The acclaimed Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar has consulted every known source for this scholarly-critical Urtext performing edition. In addition he has analysed various copies of the prints published during Beethoven's lifetime. The result of his accurate research is presented in a meticulously edited musical text at the cutting edge of scholarship, together with a detailed Critical Commentary. The volume stands out in terms of its elegant and well-presented layout. Special emphasis has been placed on optimum page-turns and on the consideration of the flow of the music. The highly informative Introduction on the genesis and significance of the sonatas is supplemented by valuable notes on historical performance practice. - New scholarly-critical performing edition at the cutting edge of scholarship - Optimum page-turns - Introduction with valuable notes on historical performance practice (Eng/Ger) - Detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano

Kurfürstensonaten. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Ludwig van Beethoven left us 35 piano sonatas actually. The three sonatas from his days in Bonn, published in 1783, do not have an opus number and therefore do not appear in the canon of 32 sonatas. However, these demanding early works are not to be underestimated. Their piano technique is challenging, particularly because of their differentiated articulation while their compositional technique points far ahead into his Viennese days. The main theme of the Second Sonata in F minor (1st movement) already presages the allegro theme of the Grande Sonate pathétique. The present edition draws on the first edition and an extant composer's copy of the first edition with Beethoven's corrections as well as on the reprint in Haslinger's complete edition in which the sonatas are numbered as Nos. 1-3 of all piano sonatas by Beethoven, as if it were the most natural thing in the world./ Recueil / Piano

Bärenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas with three major works at once.They begin with the frequently played op. 2 Sonatas (nos. 1-3) (BA 10859) 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 from his middle period (nicknamed 'Pastorale? by the publisher of the original edition) (BA 11814) and finally to the Sonata op. 101, Beethoven's first sonata specifically intended for the 'hammerklavier? and the one that introduced his esoteric late style to the piano sonatas (BA 11811).The acclaimed Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar has consulted every known source for these critical Urtext performing editions. In addition he has analysed various copies of the prints published during Beethoven's lifetime.

Ludwig Van Beethoven's Piano sonatas comprise a wealth of musical expression ranging from subdued and unpretentious to magnificently impassioned. Sonata quasi una Fantasi or Moonlight Sonata Op.27 No.2 is one of the most popular and most-often performed pieces ever written. Like many of Beethoven's works this sonata reflects the depth of his musical power. From its quiet yet moving beginning to its passionate finale it is easy to see why this piece is so popular.This complete version of the sonata has been edited by Willard A. Palmer and also contains a background to the piece and Beethoven's conventions and writing.

The ?Sonata in F minor? op. 57 (1804/05), a key work in the classical sonata repertoire, is part of Bärenreiter?s ongoing publication of selected Beethoven piano sonatas in Urtext editions. The nickname ?Appassionata? was ascribed to the sonata only in 1838, long after Beethoven?s death.'

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Beethoven’s Sonatas for Pianoforte and Violin are now available at a special set price. The set consists of volume I (BA 9014) and volume II (BA 9015). Beethoven’s ten sonatas for piano and violin, along with those by Mozart, constitute the heart of this classical music genre. Following the lead of Mozart’s late sonatas, Beethoven lets the violin part become increasingly independent from the piano part. Not only does Clive Brown’s scholarly critical edition offer a meticulously edited text but for the first time it presents a list of sources and a Critical Report. Furthermore Brown documents a great number of passages where, by today’s standards, the notation raises some questions. These passages had previously been overlooked in the autograph but their significance is now clarified. One example can be found in Beethoven’s “Tempo di Minuetto” from Sonata op. 30 No. 3, where he uses a notational idiosyncracy based on C.P.E. Bach’s “Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen” to denote a rest. This musical symbol, which was included in the first edition published during Beethoven’s lifetime, has not been addressed in any modern edition to date. In addition, a score through a chord can also not be found in previous modern editions - this denotes an arpeggiated chord./ Recueil / Violon et Piano

14 Selections from Bagatelles, Sonatas, Variations and more. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. / Recueil / 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 meticulously edited 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. / Piano
