Grande Sonata No. 2 in A Flat, Op. 39

Volume III of Schubert?s Piano Sonatas includes the tuneful, dance-like Sonata in G major D 894 (1827), sometimes called the ?Fantasie? sonata, as well as the three great sonatas in C minor, A major and B-flat major (D 958, 959 and 960), which were conceived as a triptych and constitute the composer?s greatest contribution to the piano sonata genre. The works pay homage to the three late sonatas of Beethoven. This scholarly-critical Urtext edition is based on the definitive musical text of the ?New Schubert Edition? and presents the works in a spacious new engraving with practical page turns. It includes an informative Foreword and detailed notes (Ger/Eng) on central performance practice issues such as the use of pedals and Schubert?s distinctive manner of notating accents. It is rounded off by a Critical Commentary (Eng) with performance-related alternative readings. Schubert?s drafts for individual sonata movements can be accessed on the Bärenreiter website.

Op. 22-Composed in 1800 and published as a ?Grande Sonate? Beethoven?s Piano Sonata in B-flat major Op.22 marks the end of his first creative period. The only surviving handwritten source is a copyist?s manuscript that served as an engraver?s copy but which conflicts in many details with the original print. Beethoven held this sonata in especially high regard proudly calling it ?a real challenge? in a letter of 15 January 1801 to his publisher Franz Anton Hoffmeister. Indeed it manifests the quintessence of classical formal principles: its proportions are balanced its four-movement structure consummately designed. It poses high demands on flawless technical brilliance andlightness of execution.For his new Urtext edition the world-renowned Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar has examined meticulously all available sources and presents a reliable musical text. The elegant layout and advantageous page turns further add to the quality of the edition which also includes a detailed Critical Commentary an informative Preface and indispensable information on performance practice (ties and slurs dynamics accents).Scholarly-critical Urtext edition at the cutting edge of scholarshipOptimal page turnsInformative Introduction with valuable suggestions on period performance practice (Eng/Ger)Includes a Critical Commentary (Eng)

Piano Sonata no. 4 in Eb major op. 7-Carl Czerny wrote the following about Ludwig van Beethoven?s ?Grande Sonate? Op. 7 published in 1797: ?The epithet appassionata would fit much better to the Sonata in E flat Op. 7 which he wrote in a very impassioned mood?. As to whether the reason behind his passionate music was the composer?s attraction for his then 16-year-old pupil Anna Luise Barbara Countess von Keglevich remains open. It might be thatthe dedicatee?s father commissioned Beethoven to write the work for his daughter. We are publishing the sonata in a revised single edition by Norbert Gertsch and Murray Perahia the introduction and fingerings wereprovided by the latter one of the foremost interpreters of Beethoven?s Piano music.

In Es Für Klavier Op. 7-The earliest sketches for Beethoven’s Grande Sonate Op.7 date from 1796 and the first edition was issued by the publisher Artaria Vienna in October 1797. It is dedicated to Beethoven’s pupil Anna Luise Barbara (Babette) Countess Keglevicz in whom if Carl Czerny is to be believed he was passionately in love. For this reason it is sometimes known by its German nickname “Die Verliebte” (The Lover).This work is one of the longest and most demanding of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. Its four movements cover a wide range of emotions – a challenge that the dedicatee who was 16 at the time and only started taking lessons from Beethoven in1797 possibly felt unable to master.Jonathan Del Mar the worldwide authority and acclaimed specialist on Beethoven is editing all of this composer's piano sonatas in B?renreiter Urtext editions incorporating the latest findings of Beethoven scholarship and evaluating every available source.
