Review: So many of these paperback music scores have a somewhat inflexible binding, and the pages don't like to stay open. Given that a majority of modern pianos do not come with those neat little brass clamps that hold the pages open, I seem to spend as much of my time fighting with the pages open as I do actually playing the piano. Having said that, with judicious use of clothes pegs, I have managed to impose some kind of control on this wild, rampant music book and subject it to my unreasonable demands. Other than that, the print and layout is clear, the annotations appear adequate and I am gradually getting to grips with the music. The version appears to be a very accurate one (I am no expert on these matters), so the publishers are making few if any concessions to my rather dodgy playing technique. Overall, setting aside the above somewhat lighthearted cavills (which I guess may be shared by 90% of piano music), I would class this copy of Beethoven's Complete Sonatas as 'Jolly Good Value'.

Review: Bought this Dover Edition whilst studying music at university, which served it's purpose considering the price when learning some of the sonatas, but in the end I replaced this edition with the Schirmer and ABRSM editions. The paper and binding was not of good quality, which I have found with a lot of Dover Music Books in the past. The paper is thin and pages / binding became loose with not much wear or use. Also the print of the score is not greatly bold or clear in comparison to other editions. Also my piano teacher at the time noticed on some sonatas / movements there was some inaccurate notation; such as wrong accidentals, trills and articulation. Overall this book can serve it's purpose concerning the cheaper price, but for a little bit more (especially if you are learning the sonatas for the first time), I would highly recommend buying the Schirmer or more so the ABRSM editions (if not Urtext) to be assured that the notation and what you are learning is closer to Beethoven's original work and the binding / paper is of much better, longer lasting quality.

    Description: Beethoven's piano sonatas form one of the most important collections of works in the whole history of music. Spanning several decades of his life as a composer, the sonatas soon came to be seen as the first body of substantial serious works for piano suited to performance in large concert halls seating hundreds of people. In this comprehensive and authoritative guide, Charles Rosen places the works in context and provides an understanding of the formal principles involved in interpreting and performing this unique repertoire, covering such aspects as sonata form, phrasing, and tempo, as well as the use of pedal and trills. In the second part of his book, he looks at the sonatas individually, from the earliest works of the 1790s through the sonatas of Beethoven's youthful popularity of the early 1800s, the subsequent years of mastery, the years of stress (1812-1817), and the last three sonatas of the 1820s. Composed as much for private music-making as public recital, Beethoven's sonatas have long formed a bridge between the worlds of the salon and the concert hall. For today's audience, Rosen has written a guide that brings out the gravity, passion, and humor of these works and will enrich the appreciation of a wide range of readers, whether listeners, amateur musicians, or professional pianists. The book includes a link to recordings of Rosen performing extracts from several of the sonatas, illustrating points made in the text.

  • Waterstones The Intermediate Piano Sonata Collection

    Price: £12.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: The Intermediate Piano Sonata Collection gathers together 9 complete sonatas that are all intermediate to early advanced (Grades 4 to 6) in standard. Featuring works by Beethoven, Anna Bon, Haydn, Mozart and Robert Schumann, it provides the highest quality music and many years of study. Each sonata is accompanied by a live recording, background information, playing tips and musicianship activities; students are also encouraged to use the Sonata Music Map to analyse each work in detail themselves. Piano sonatas are a fundamental part of the piano repertoire, but many students miss out on these masterpieces because they so rarely play a complete sonata - often only individual movements are available and subsequent movements can be too difficult. This collection aims to introduce the intermediate pianist to complete sonatas. Through it, players will gain a greater understanding of what they are playing, enhancing their interpretation and developing their musicianship. .
