Ludwig van Beethoven composed his five large piano concertos over a period of twenty years. His Fifth Concerto in E-flat major op. 73, first published in 1810/11, is here presented in a piano reduction for two pianos. This edition, in the quality one has come to expect from an Urtext, is based on the Beethoven Complete Edition and is designed for practical use. In order to do justice to Beethoven’s intentions, the composer’s characteristic notation has been retained in the solo part. The preface, by the Beethoven researcher Hans-Werner Küthen, offers valuable details on the source situation and on its historical context, describing the circumstances of the year of its composition (1809) during the Napoleonic occupation of Vienna.

About the Composer

Ludwig van Beethoven

No composer has had as profound and sustained an influence on immediately following generations to the present day as Beethoven. His instrumental music, especially his symphonies, served as touchstones for symphonic composition throughout the nineteenth century. The extraordinarily high standard of his music and his relative independence as a freelance composer have led to his being characterized as the greatest composer of all time.

Ein Glücksfall! Wieder erweist Küthen sich ebenso als detail-besessen-solider Philologe wie als einer, dem es immer um mehr geht als nur um saubere Textaufbereitung -- um ein Gesamtbild, eine Einbettung in biographische, historische, aufführungspraktische Kontexte und, wie noch in feinsinnigen Detailbemerkungen innerhalb des kritischen Berichts zu erkennen, um zum Klingen bestimmte Musik.

Das Orchester

Fait référence à l'édition HN 4630: ...il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il s'agit de l'édition des concertos la plus fiable à ce jour,... une lecture attentive doit mener vers des exécutions beaucoup plus claires et incisives que celles auxquelles la tradition nous a habitués.

La lettre du musicien

These recent publications by Henle are welcome new resource for performers. Henle's finely produced editions of the well known 'Emperor' Concerto and the 'Triple Concerto' are exemplary. Rehearsal figures, orchestrational cues and markings, and clear indications of tutti and solos combine with lucid presentation of the musical text. The Triple Concerto also includes separate parts for each soloist while the orchestral piano reduction is clearly set out alongside the piano trio. ... the scholarly introductions offer illuminating commentary about the historical background to each work. ... Some of the score annotations are directly connected with Beethoven's teaching, with comments from leading theorists and a transcription of the orchestral part for figured bass. ...

Arietta

... There is extensive emphasis on the historical backgrounds to both works that is certainly of interest to the reader, with apparent assurances that textual discrepancies are absorbed into the score rather than actually being referred to separately at the end of the volume.

Music Teacher Magazine

Hans-Werner Küthen has finally given these masterpieces the editions they deserve, and his achievement is matched by intelligent fingering from Hans Kann. Any edition of Beethoven must be a compromise, of course, but these glorious publications are uniquely informative both in their introductions and editorial notes about the decisions made. ... The latest musicological evidence leads to refreshed perspectives at every turn, and the results are continuously lucid and illuminating. One need only look at the extraordinary touches which have been applied to the cadenzas of the Fourth Concerto to quickly see this. ... Yes if one considers that they present state-of-the art musicological research, fascinating and readable historical introductions, and new insights at every turn, the extra cost is more than justified.

International Piano Quarterly

Se basant sur le texte de l’édition complète, G. Henle Verlag fait paraître les éditions pratiques des concertos pour piano selon une version pour deux pianos. La clarté, la lisibilité du texte musical, les changements de page respectueux des impératifs musicaux ainsi qu’une reliure adéquate (le volume ne présente pas l’inconvénient de se refermer immédiatement.) font de ces éditions de véritables partitions « pour la pratique », qui, à juste titre, se sont acquis la confiance des interprètes internationaux les plus renommés. L’adjonction à la fin de la réduction pour piano des cadences originales de Beethoven constitue un autre positif.
