Download or read book Beethoven s Piano Sonatas written by Charles Rosen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 CD of Rosen performing extracts from several of the sonatas, illustrating points made in the text.

Download or read book Translating Beethoven written by Martin Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every pianist who is seriously interested in rendering the spirit of a Beethoven piano work ought to read it" So wrote Paul Badura-Skoda in 1995 in his review of Martin Hughes's chapter in "Performing Beethoven", one of the Cambridge Studies in Performance Practice, edited by Robin Stowell and published by Cambridge University Press. Hughes`s new book on the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas bridges the gap between score and stage. Written for young pianists embarking on a solo career, the book encourages the reader to retrace the compositional process and to present these extraordinary works as if for the first time. The significance of key colour, pattern recognition, continuity and interruption, variation, pitch and texture are among the many elements that are discussed, while an extra chapter is devoted exclusively to tempo, the most important factor in the performance of Beethoven. These chapters are not piano lessons; they are an invitation to step away from convention and to think like a revolutionary composer. For ease of reference the sonatas are dealt with individually, with an average chapter length of some 2500 words. Martin Hughes was Professor of Solo Piano at Berlin University of the Arts before moving to the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Austria, where he is now Emeritus Professor. He has given concerts, lectures and masterclasses around the world and has performed complete cycles of both the Beethoven and the Schubert piano sonatas.

Download or read book The Creation of Beethoven s 35 Piano Sonatas written by Barry Cooper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-05 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beethoven’s piano sonatas are a cornerstone of the piano repertoire and favourites of both the concert hall and recording studio. The sonatas have been the subject of much scholarship, but no single study gives an adequate account of the processes by which these sonatas were composed and published. With source materials such as sketches and correspondence increasingly available, the time is ripe for a close study of the history of these works. Barry Cooper, who in 2007 produced a new edition of all 35 sonatas, including three that are often overlooked, examines each sonata in turn, addressing questions such as: Why were they written? Why did they turn out as they did? How did they come into being and how did they reach their final form? Drawing on the composer’s sketches, autograph scores and early printed editions, as well as contextual material such as correspondence, Cooper explores the links between the notes and symbols found in the musical texts of the sonatas, and the environment that brought them about. The result is a biography not of the composer, but of the works themselves.
