Romantic. Ludwig van Beethoven has left a considerable number of individual pieces for piano in addition to sonatas and works of variations. They range from larger works such as "The Rage over the Lost Penny" or the Fantasia Op. 77 to the ingenious miniatures of the Bagatelles. In terms of their origin and history, they run through the entire ouvre of the composer from his time in Bonn to the last years of his life. The new edition completes the previous selection with important works, e.g. the R...
Thanks to its programmatic subtitle, 'The Rage over a Lost Penny', which was not by the composer, Beethoven's Rondo 'Alla ingharese quasi un Capriccio' became one of his most famous piano pieces. Beethoven's albeit not entirely complete autograph of the work from around 1795 has survived. It is the main source of the new edition; the first edition, published posthumously by Diabelli, provided a reasonably plausible orientation for missing parts in the original manuscript. In a few problematic c...
This rondo for piano was composed in 1794/95 and has become known primarily by its sobriquet "The rage over the lost penny". However, this did not originate with the composer himself, but rather added to the autograph later by another hand. In his own original title, Beethoven emphasised its "Hungarian" style, though he wrote "Ingharese" instead of "allungharese," thereby emphasising the humorous nature of this spirited piece. Robert Schumann aptly remarked that "There can hardly be anything more...
The two Rondos op. 51 were written independently of one another and only later consolidated into a single opus by Beethoven's publisher. The first of these works from 1797 quickly became popular on account of how it combines simple, catchy melody with surprising modulations and expressive, dramatic eruptions within a compact form. With its moderate degree of difficulty, the piece is ideal preparation before embarking on Beethoven's piano sonatas. Based on her preliminary research for the critical...
This composition published in 1802 constitutes a completely separate concert piece from Opus 51 no. 1. Compared to the first Rondo (op. 51 no. 1), the second is considerably longer and with a markedly different expressive disposition. Here, lyrical traits predominate without any of the dramatic incursions otherwise so emblematic of Beethoven's compositions. For that reason, this comparatively reserved work did not enjoy the same popularity as the Rondo op. 51 no. 1 and continues to invite redisco...
Beethoven's three piano sonatas op. 2 were the first works in this genre to which he gave an opus number, thus signalling to the musical world the special importance that he assigned to them. He wrote them during his first years in Vienna and, along withhis op. 1 piano trios, they helped to establish his reputation as one of the most significant composers of his time. These three sonatas- all of them small masterpieces - are arranged in ascending order of difficulty and virtuosity. The four-movem...

Ludwig van Beethoven's three sonatas Op. 2 stand at the beginning of his oeuvre, but there is absolutely nothing tentative or "early" about them. Not a note could be changed; strict logic rules every movement. Five years after Mozart's death, a new genius emerged here. The Sonata in C Major Op. 2, No. 3 from 1795 is large and brilliant, more expansive than the two other sonatas of Oop. 2, and created for virtuoso effect. Its key of C Major already has the celebratory, victorious sound of the "Wal...
