Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonata No.21 C Op.53 'Waldstein': Piano:

A further edition in Henle's highly regarded Beethoven revisions bears witness to their fruitful collaboration with the renowned artist Murray Perahia. This time the established editorial team Gertsch/Perahia has devoted itself toa truly monumental work: Beethoven s famous Waldstein Sonata was composed in close proximity to the Eroica and the first sketches for Fidelio . The boldness of the first movement already surpasses anything that had beenventured up to that point. Beethoven dedicated it to his friend and patron Count Waldstein. As always Murray Perahia not only provides valuable fingering suggestions but also shares his personal thoughts on this work in a shortessay.
