Summary of This Score
Beethoven's two Rondos op. 51 were conceived separately, then later grouped under the same opus number by his publisher. This editorial particularity highlights the very individual character of each piece, while emphasizing their stylistic coherence within the piano repertoire of the period.
The first of these works, published in 1797, quickly met with success thanks to its way of linking, in just a few measures, an immediately singable melodic idea to surprising modulations, punctuated by expressive and dramatic outbursts. For the pianist, these rondos provide an ideal playground to work on clarity of discourse, dynamic contrasts, management of transitions, and phrase breathing, without the structural length of a sonata.
This Henle Urtext edition follows a rigorous approach: based on her preparatory work for the complete critical edition, Joanna Cobb Biermann has meticulously revised the musical text, while also authoring the preface for this new edition. A piano score designed for musicians seeking a reliable source, coherent musical content, and a reading that highlights Beethoven's intention.
