{"product_id":"barenreiter-beethoven-l-v-three-sonatas-op-31-piano-255867","title":"Beethoven L.V. - Three Sonatas Op.31 - Piano","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Score\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree Sonatas for Pianoforte G major, D minor, E-flat major op. 31\u003c\/strong\u003e brings together the three piano sonatas Beethoven composed in 1802 and which he chose, for the last time, to group under a single opus number. A true turning point in his piano writing, this set contrasts different characters, between momentum, dramatic tension, and formal invention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece of the collection, the Sonata in D minor op. 31 no. 2, nicknamed \"Tempest,\" already fascinated the composer's contemporaries. Tradition holds that when asked about the \"key\" of this work (as well as op. 57 \"Appassionata\"), Beethoven advised reading Shakespeare's \"The Tempest,\" highlighting the narrative intensity and theatricality of his musical language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Urtext edition, prepared by Jonathan Del Mar, offers a meticulously established musical text enriched by the latest advances in research. The critical commentary details the sources consulted, the variants chosen, and editorial interventions, providing performers with a reliable foundation for working on style, structure, and phrasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial care is also given to the playing and study experience: legibility, clarity on the page, and transitions designed to minimize constraints during repetitions. A chapter dedicated to historical performance practices finally sheds light on essential points for approaching Beethoven at the keyboard: instruments and range, use of pedals, tempo, dynamics, articulations, and ornaments.\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)\"\u003eBeethoven, Ludwig van\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 (pianoforte)\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 (critical edition)\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 (English\/German); Critical Commentary (English); Performance Practice (English\/German)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Barenreiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359668916499,"sku":"255867","price":26.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/8b32c3587fd12736ce0623dcfb758dc119a79276_BA11805.jpg?v=1789382114","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/barenreiter-beethoven-l-v-three-sonatas-op-31-piano-255867","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
