Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Like the “Eroica Variations” op. 35, the Variations op. 34, were composed in 1802 on an original theme. The “new fashion” Beethoven declared for both works to his publisher becomes apparent in opus 34 through the constant change of keys; from one variation to the next, new tone colours and moods continue to unfold, spanning the pastoral and the funereal, while the melody …

Bookended by two famous sonatas the Waldstein op. 53 and the Appassionata op. 57 the F-major Sonata op. 54 has always lived in the shadows regrettably. In this first large-scale two-movement sonata Beethoven experiments with striking character contrasts in the first movement and a virtuosic perpetuum mobile duet in the second. In both interpretation and mastery of technical difficulties this …

Andante in F major WoO 57 (Andante favori)-First conceived in 1803/04 as the slow movement of the Piano Sonata in C major op. 53 (the Waldsteinâ?� Sonata) the Andante turned out too long in Beethovenâ??s view and was replaced. Beethoven had it published as a standalone movement presumably in 1805. The movement marked Grazioso con moto â?� is characterised by a large variety of compositional tec…

Rondo in C major op. 51 no. 1-The two Rondos op. 51 were written independently of one another and only later consolidated into a single opus by Beethoven???s publisher. The first of these works from 1797 quickly became popular on account of how it combines simple catchy melody with surprising modulations and expressive dramatic eruptions within a compact form. With its moderate degree of difficu…

“My angel my all my selfâ€�. With these words Beethoven in July 1812 began his passionate love letter to a woman whose identity has eluded discovery to the present day. Was he perhaps addressing the same woman four years later when he composed “An die ferne Geliebteâ€� his song cycle on poems by Alois Jeitteles?Barry Cooper discusses this and many other questions in the Introduction to hi…

Piano Sonata no. 5 in c minor op. 10 no. 1-Decisive and manly ??? most profound sentiment and delicacy ??? and imaginative humour??? ??? thus does Beethoven???s contemporary Carl Czerny accurately describe the three movements of this expressive sonata. As no autograph manuscript has survived the first edition of the three sonatas op. 10 published in Vienna in 1798 forms the sole basis for the r…

Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar. The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony (No.9) which came down to us in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising t…

F minor A major C major-Bärenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven Piano sonatas. They begin with the frequently played Op.2 Sonatas (Nos. 1-3) (BA10859) which stem from his early yet mature oeuvre when he was developing an independent style from the legacy of Mozart and Haydn. They then proceed to the lyrical D major Sonata Op.28 (BA11814) from his middle period (nicknam…
