9 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-Beethoven?s 32 piano sonatas are the ?New Testament? of music according to Hans von Bülow. Our selection here does not take things quite so solemnly because we have also taken the opportunity to show the more ?worldly? side ofthe composer with dances bagatelles the unusual character piece ?Lustig und traurig? (?Happy and sad?) and of course the indestructible ?Für Elise?. As usual in our series ?At the piano? all the pieces are arrangedprogressively from easy to medium level of difficulty. And you do not have to be in awe of Beethoven?s piano sonatas either: the highly Classical sonata in G major (essentially a sonatina) offers an ideal introduction to themany-facetted world of Beethoven?s sonatas. In contrast to this we also show Beethoven the ?poet at the piano? with the first movement of his ?Moonlight? Sonata in c-sharp minor along with the funeral march from the Sonata inA-flat major visionary creations that already point far ahead into the world of Romanticism.

including the unfinished works-The second volume in this series of Franz Schubertâ??s Complete Piano Sonatas has been carefully edited annotated and fingered for the ABRSM by Howard Ferguson. This is part of a series of authoritative performing editions of standard keyboard works prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions performance notes and detailed editorial markings. Volume Two includes the four sonatas: D.575 D.664 D.784 and D.845 as well as five unfinished works and range from popular favourites to mere fragments only a few bars long. Even in the earliest of these sonatas Schubert demonstrates his compositional poeticism sensitivity and skill inthe romantic idiom. For a broad scope of emotion and feeling they are second only to Beethovenâ??s sonatas.

Published posthumously in 1855 the Fantaisie Impromptu In C# Minor Op. Post.66 is one of Chopin???s most frequently performed and popular compositions.There was initially some mystery surroundingthe piece and why Chopin never published it during his lifetime. James Huneker trying to explain why the piece was not published calls parts of it 'mawkish' and 'without nobility' whilst Ernst Oster writes that atechnical exploration would show why Chopin did not publish the work and that exploration shows that the Fantaisie-Impromptu and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata ('Quasi una fantasia') are related.Themystery may have been solved in 1960 when pianist Arthur Rubinstein acquired the 'Album of the Baroness d'Este' which had been sold at auction in Paris. The album contained a manuscript of the Fantaisie-Impromptu written in Chopin's own hand and dated 1835. The title page for the manuscript states that the piece was 'Composed for the Baroness d'Este by Fr?d?ric Chopin' and from this Rubinstein surmises that the words 'Composedfor' in place of a dedication imply that Chopin received a paid commission for the work.This Henle Urtext Edition for solo Piano has been edited by Ewald Zimmermann and includes fingering by Hans-MartinTheopold.
