Beethoven, Sonatas For Cello and Piano Beethoven (Schott/Universal)
Beethoven’s cello sonatas transformed the relationship between cello and piano, establishing a chamber-music tradition that would influence generations of composers. This comprehensive Wiener Urtext Edition, published by Universal Edition in cooperation with Schott Music, presents Beethoven’s five canonical cello sonatas alongside the authentic cello version of the Horn Sonata in F Major, Op. 17. The musical text is based on a critical comparison of surviving sources, with alternative readings provided where questions remain. The separate cello part includes practical performance guidance and an arrangement by distinguished cellist Heinrich Schiff. At the same time, historical comments on interpretation by Carl Czerny offer valuable insight into Beethoven performance practice. Fold-out pages and carefully planned page turns make this edition particularly practical for serious study and performance.
