Beethoven gave this sonata the unusual title ?Sonata quasi una Fantasia ? which it shares along with its opus number with the considerably more famous ?Moonlight? Sonata. Both sonatas along with the preceding sonata with the funeral march op. 26 and the three sonatas op. 31 soon to follow usher in Beethoven?s conquest of new musical territory in this genre. With a complex structure that oscillates between fantasia and sonata op. 27 no. 1 has long presented pianists with great interpretive challenges that once they have been overcome bring to light a true jewel. G. Henle Publishers now also offers this sonata in a new edition with provenfingering and interpretive suggestions by Murray Perahia and edited by the team of Beethoven experts Gertsch and Perahia.

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.

?Sonata quasi una fantasia? was the title given to it by Beethoven and yet the world of music knows it as the ?Moonlight Sonata? an epithet that was already around during the composer?s lifetime. ?The lake rests quiet under thelight of the moon at twilight; the wave thuds against the dark bank? wrote Ludwig Rellstab on the 1st movement in 1823. ?It is as if we catch sight of a colossal grave in the middle of a lonely plain palely lit by the sicklemoon? was what Wilhelm von Lenz wrote. Beethoven might have been influenced by the sound of the Aeolian harp as Murray Perahia and Norbert Gertsch explain in the introductory texts to this edition referring to the latestresearch. Perahia also provided the fingerings.
