Summary of This Score
This Urtext edition presents the famous Piano Sonata in C minor known as the "Pathétique," a foundational work in Beethoven's sonata repertoire. Conceived as one of his first major piano works, it stands out for its dramatic tension, expressive drive, and emotional coherence-qualities that still make it a staple of the repertoire today.
Edited by Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar, this score aims for maximum fidelity to the sources. It is particularly intended for advanced pianists, conservatory students, and teachers seeking a solid working basis for both technical study and the construction of a stylistically informed interpretation.
The edition emphasizes the playing experience: clear layout, transitions designed to minimize breaks, and a useful critical apparatus without burdening the reading. Additionally, you will find a historical foreword (in German and English), a critical commentary (in English), and notes related to performance practice, valuable for clarifying choices of fingering, articulation, dynamics, and the logic of the musical discourse.
