Ludwig van Beethoven
Five Famous Piano Sonatas
Five famous sonatas by Beethoven – all bearing a popular epithet known the world over – are presented to advanced pianists in this attractive volume of selected works from the new three-volume Urtext edition. These five pieces do not all number among the most difficult sonatas from Beethoven’s cosmos but do indeed demand an advanced keyboard technique. They reveal to every Beethoven enthusiast the multifarious spectrum of these impassioned compositions from his quill. This collection also features all the benefits of the editions stemming from the collaboration between Perahia and Gertsch: from extensive information on the genesis, publication, and source situation, to the first-rate fingerings by Maestro Perahia.

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.

Et comme toujours chez Henle, le travail sur les sources est minutieux et appréciable. Norbert Gertsch et Murray Perahia signent la direction de ces travaux en proposant ici un regard précis sur l’aspect musicologique mais aussi sur les doigtés proposés par le pianiste. ...En plus d’une analyse approfondie et d’un regard lucide sur la manière d’interpréter les sources, il est réjouissant de lire les notes préliminaires et personnelles de Murray Perahia. Son analyse des couleurs, des dynamiques, de l’harmonie et de bien d’autres éléments, est un élément précieux pour cette nouvelle édition.
Crescendo, 2019Wat dit album echt bijzonder maakt zijn de extra inleidingen van Murray Perahia waarin hij zijn gedachten over de structuur en muzikale bijzonderheden van de sonates deelt. Hij tekent ook voor de vingerzettingen. Het album is verder voorzien van een kritisch commentaar dat dieper ingaat op de tekstuele verschillen van manuscripten en publicaties door de jaren heen.
Pianist, 2020There are other Sonatas which could happily have appeared here, but with such range of musical expression and technical challenge, along wiht the popularity of these five Sonatas, it would be churlish to find any fault whatever. This is quite simply another stunning publication.
