Description:
In October 1801, Beethoven offered the Vienna Art and Industry Comptoir a "large sonata for forte piano". His Sonata in D major, published the following year, has been inextricably linked with this epithet since its first English edition, whose title page described it as the "Sonate Pastorale".
In his new critical-practical Urtext edition, Jonathan Del Mar, currently one of the most intimate connoisseurs of Beethoven's music, carefully evaluates all known sources as well as proofs of the prints published during Beethoven's lifetime on the basis of the latest findings of Beethoven research. The chapter on historical performance practice contains indispensable information on important issues such as Beethoven's instruments and their range, pedal use, tempo, dynamics, articulation and ornamentation. A knowledgeable introduction provides information on the work and its genesis. The detailed Critical Report provides precise information on readings and editorial emendations. A reader-friendly score and practical turnarounds invite you to play this lyrical sonata, which was already regarded by contemporaries as rustic.
