Summary of This Score

The Appassionata is among Ludwig van Beethoven's most famous piano sonatas, on par with the Moonlight Sonata and the Waldstein Sonata. Positioned after the latter, it stands as a turning point and a moment of expressive concentration in Beethoven's piano oeuvre, driven by dramatic writing and particularly marked character contrasts.

The nickname "Appassionata" aptly captures the spirit of the sonata: the dramatic contrasts of the first movement, the solemn introspection of the second, and the devastating passion of the third. Remarkably, this title is not Beethoven's and appears only late: it was first mentioned in 1838 in a piano four-hands arrangement published by Cranz editions in Hamburg. Yet, this name has endured, as it reflects the intensity and power of this score.

This edition allows you to approach one of the great masterpieces of the piano repertoire, recognized for its breath, narrative tension, and musical impact. A work that, according to the phrase attributed to Lenin, reminds us how "men are capable of such wonders."
