Designed for demanding pianists, it offers a solid musical reading, emphasizing the architecture of the work, the transparency of textures, and the characteristic momentum of Beethoven's so-called \"heroic\" period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed close in time to the \"Eroica\" and the early sketches of \"Fidelio,\" the \"Waldstein\" marks a turning point: the \u003cstrong\u003efirst movement\u003c\/strong\u003e pushes the boundaries of pianistic daring through its energy, contrasts, and innovative writing. This score allows tackling these challenges methodically thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eMurray Perahia's fingerings\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly useful for stabilizing rapid passages, mastering position shifts, and maintaining controlled sonority during grand harmonic surges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond purely pianistic work, this edition stands out through the artistic dimension brought by Perahia: his performance indications and \u003cstrong\u003eshort essay\u003c\/strong\u003e guide the performer in understanding the style, phrasing, and narrative flow. A valuable resource for refining an interpretation, whether in study, lessons, or concert preparation.\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\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eNorbert Gertsch, Murray Perahia\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\u003eArranger\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eNorbert Gertsch, Murray Perahia\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\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Henle Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360304353555,"sku":"61471","price":11.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/41a5d75f7a0b9fd64099b7dedc24042895f1584d_HN946.jpg?v=1789395778","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/henle-verlag-beethoven-l-v-piano-sonata-no-21-c-major-op-53-waldstein-61471","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
