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

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. The newly revised edition of Ludwig van Beethoven's piano sonatas in the Wiener Urtext Edition is the only one of the more recent Urtext editions on a broad source basis. It includes not only autographs, verified copies and first editions, but also early reprints published during the composer's lifetime and Haslinger's Complete Edition. This is especially important for those sonatas of which neither autographs nor transcriptions are preserved. The edition contains a critical report in German and English, in which the complex source problems of these sonatas are explained in a comprehensible way and the editorial decisions are comprehensibly justified. This makes the band an indispensable tool in the study of these outstanding works of piano literature./ Répertoire / Piano

Klaviersonaten Band 3. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Volume 3 of Beethoven's Piano Sonatas in Wiener Urtext Edition contains the Sonatas Op. 78, 79, 81a, 90, 101, 106, 109, 110, and 111. The re-revised musical text is based on several newly accessed sources. In addition, the edition contains, for the first time, a critical report in German and English in which the complex problems of the sources of these sonatas are explained and the editorial decisions justified in a comprehensible way. This makes the volumes an indispensable tool for studying these outstanding works of piano literature./ Répertoire / Piano

Sonate #8. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. 'This sonata is easier to study than any of the earlier ones, and has therefore always been extremely popular.' (Carl Czerny). Indeed, the Grande Sonate pathétique is the one with the most moderate demands in terms of playing technique among Beethoven's famous piano sonatas. But it is also popular for its pathetic expression, which captivates the listener from the very first chords. The new edition is published as a single edition following the revised new edition of all Beethoven's piano sonatas published in 2018/19. The edition is based on the first edition published in 1799, the second edition by the original publisher published soon afterwards and some early reprints. The latter are particularly important as supplementary sources, since neither the autograph nor copies of them have survived. The Critical Report (in German and English) informs about the importance of the sources and the editorial decisions. The trilingual preface provides historical background information. In addition, the performance-practical remarks by Beethoven's pupil Carl Czerny offer first-hand interpretative advice./ Répertoire / Piano

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.
