Often described as a \"Grand Sonata\" almost modestly named, this score confronts the pianist with an extraordinary architecture, exceptional density of writing, and formidable endurance challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Urtext edition is intended for performers who wish to rely on a reliable musical text, based on rigorous editorial work. The edition particularly emphasizes the specific difficulties of op. 106: the breadth of the movements, the polyphonic writing of rare complexity, and the famous final fugue, a true touchstone of keyboard mastery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sonata, dedicated to Archduke Rudolph of Austria, is also famous for the metronome markings noted by Beethoven in the manuscript, sometimes considered \"unplayable\" in the first movement and in the fugue. The editor offers here a renewed insight into this issue, providing an explanation that helps to place these tempi in their context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the musical text, this score stands out for the quality of its editorial content: an \u003cstrong\u003einformative introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e (German\/English) and notes addressing central points of \u003cstrong\u003eperiod performance practice\u003c\/strong\u003e (articulation, phrasing, understanding of sources). The \u003cstrong\u003ecritical commentary\u003c\/strong\u003e (English) and source descriptions finally offer a genuine working tool for pianists, teachers, and Beethoven enthusiasts who wish to go beyond a simple reading of the score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eLudwig van Beethoven\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eUrtext edition with the latest musicological findings\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eIntroduction (Ger\/Eng); Critical Commentary (Eng)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Barenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359359193363,"sku":"300564","price":11.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/26a8d3efe50988d493a430dc7fd13676b1a7c51b_BA11810.jpg?v=1789436411","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/barenreiter-beethoven-l-v-grande-sonate-op-106-hammerklavier-piano-300564","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
