Summary of This Score
Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Sonata No. 6 in F major, Op. 10 No. 2
Norbert Gertsch (Editor)
Murray Perahia (Editor, Fingerings)
Urtext Edition, paperback binding
replaces HN 1309
This Urtext edition of the Piano Sonata Op. 10 No. 2 in F major is part of the famous triad of Op. 10 sonatas, published in Vienna in 1798. Following the Op. 2 Sonatas (1794/1795) and the Grand Sonata Op. 7, Beethoven here explores a different formal architecture: like Op. 10 No. 1, this sonata has only three movements and diverges from the four-movement model established by Op. 2 and 7. This peculiarity reflects a period of intense experimentation, notably around variants of minuets that were ultimately discarded.
Since Beethoven's manuscripts for Op. 10 have not been preserved, the editorial work is mainly based on the original edition. The Perahia/Gertsch workshop offers a classical piano score designed for pianists attentive to detail: the musical text is carefully established, extensively annotated, and supplemented with fingerings by Murray Perahia. These indications provide concrete assistance for building technique (hand distribution, passages, positions), but also to refine interpretation (inner voices, phrasing, balance of sound layers) in the Beethovenian spirit.
Thanks to its paperback binding and Urtext orientation, this score is a solid choice for ongoing piano study, teaching, and audition preparation, seeking a reliable source and coherent musical reading of Op. 10 No. 2.
