Description:
Beethoven's four-movement Sonata in A flat major op. 26 is one of his most popular works. It is dedicated to Prince Karl von Lichnowsky, one of his most important patrons, to whom Beethoven also dedicated the "Grande Sonate pathétique" op. 13 (BA 10851) and the Second Symphony op. 35. The demanding sonata, whose first drafts date from 1800/01 and which appeared in March 1802, is formally very varied: it begins with a variation movement and contains the famous Marcia funebre sulla morte d'un Eroe in third place, to which it also owes its nickname "Sonata with the funeral march". Who this hero was, however, is still unknown today. Arranged for orchestra, the funeral march was played at Beethoven's funeral on 29 March 1827.
In order to identify all the subtleties of Beethoven's notation, in particular many questionable bowings, Jonathan Del Mar was probably one of the first editors of modern editions to consult the original autograph of the sonata for the Bärenreiter edition. The result is a highly reliable and conscientiously edited musical text, in whose critical commentary all readings and editorial decisions are precisely documented. An elegant musical notation with practical turnarounds and informative notes on central questions of historical performance practice (pedalization, ornamentation, tempo, dynamics, articulation) are also a matter of course for this new edition.
