Summary of This Score
Piano Sonatas Volume II, op. 26-54, Perahia Edition gathers eleven major sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1802 and 1806 (sonatas nos. 12 to 22). This volume covers a pivotal moment in Beethoven's writing, where form becomes denser, the discourse broadens, and the musical narrative gains power. It is an ideal resource for deepening interpretation, refining sound production, and working on the construction of large phrasing arches at the piano.
Designed in the spirit of Urtext editions, this publication by G. Henle is based on updated musicological research and offers a carefully prepared musical text, intended for the demands of daily practice. You will find a detailed preface as well as a critical commentary devoted to sources and variant issues, to understand editorial choices and to situate possible divergences between manuscripts and first editions.
The contribution of Murray Perahia stands out particularly through fingerings that are both practical and musical, useful for stabilizing technical passages, clarifying articulation, and supporting the projection of the melodic line. His reflections, focused on the world of feelings and on the structural construction of certain sonatas, offer concrete guidance to go beyond mere execution and develop a coherent, stylistically informed, and fully mastered interpretation.
