Beethoven Piano Sonata in A Major Op. 101 - Urtext Edition

Barenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas with two major works, the lyrical D major Sonata op. 28 from his middle period (nicknamed Pastorale by the publisher of the original edition) and the Sonata op. 101, Beethoven's first sonata specifically intended for the hammerklavier and the one that introduced his esoteric late style to the piano sonatas. The acclaimed Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar has consulted every known source for these critical Urtext performing editions. In addition he has analysed various copies of the prints published during Beethoven's lifetime. The results of his accurate research are presented in a meticulously edited musical text at the cutting edge of scholarship, together with a detailed Critical Commentary.
