The much-performed sonatas op. 2 nos. 1, 2 and 3 were written at the time when the young composer was taking lessons from Joseph Haydn in Vienna and are dedicated to him. After the three youthful sonatas of the Bonn period, the so-called "Elector Sonatas", Beethoven independently explored the legacy of Mozart and Haydn in his op. 2 around ten years later, in the mid-1790s, and presented his first fully-fledged piano sonatas with these works.

The renowned Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar draws on all known sources for his critical-practical Urtext edition and also evaluates various prints published during Beethoven's lifetime. The results of this meticulous research work are revealed in a carefully edited musical text based on the latest research and a detailed critical commentary.

The edition impresses with an elegant and reader-friendly musical layout, in which particular emphasis was placed on optimal turning points and the consideration of musical movement. The knowledgeable introduction on the genesis and significance of the sonatas is supplemented by valuable notes on questions of historical performance practice.
