Book Synopsis Beethoven's Piano Sonatas by : Charles Rosen
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 331 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.

As when one stands in front of a great novel or mystery book, this question comes to mind when listening to Beethoven's music. Why do his piano sonatas sound so different from Haydn's and Mozart's sonatas? What rules did he follow when he wrote them? Can we discern any patterns? What could a young musician learn from Beethoven's writing style that he/she could then use to compose her/his own music? Have the scores on hand, listen to a recording. And as you read the book, sit from time to time at the piano and try your own variations on Beethoven's ideas, a few bars at a time. Write them down in your own sketch book. Who knows? Perhaps, one day some of them will become the seeds from which you will write your own music. In ways you never thought before.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Sonata No. 17 in D Minor, Op. 31, No. 2, the nickname "tempest" might refer to Shakespeare's classic play of the same title, although that has not been proven.

Thorough research of the earliest available sources has enabled Dr. Gordon to produce the most accurate reflection of the composer's intent. Each sonata contains helpful fingering suggestions and performance recommendations. Other editors' conclusions are noted where performance options are open to interpretation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle sonatasAfter he wrote his first 15 sonatas, he wrote to Wenzel Krumpholz, "From now on, I'm going to take a new path." Beethoven's sonatas from this period are very different from his earlier ones. His experimentation in modifications to the common sonata form of Haydn and Mozart became more daring, as did the depth of expression. Most Romantic period sonatas were highly influenced by those of Beethoven. After 1804, Beethoven ceased publishing sonatas in sets and only composed them as a single opus. It is unclear why he did so.Opus 31: Three Piano Sonatas (1802)Piano Sonata No. 16 in G major Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor ("Tempest")Piano Sonata No. 18 in E-flat major ("The Hunt")Opus 53: Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major ("Waldstein") (1803) WoO 57: Andante favori -- Original middle movement of the "Waldstein" sonata (1804)Opus 54: Piano Sonata No. 22 in F major (1804)Opus 57: Piano Sonata No. 23 in F minor ("Appassionata") (1805)Opus 78: Piano Sonata No. 24 in F-sharp major ("A Thérèse") (1809)Opus 79:Piano Sonata No. 25 in G major ("Cuckoo") (1809)Opus 81a: Piano Sonata No. 26 in E-flat major ("Les adieux/Das Lebewohl") (1810)Opus 90: Piano Sonata No. 27 in E minor (1814)Late sonatas Beethoven's late sonatas were some of his most difficult works and some of today's most difficult repertoire. Yet again, his music found a new path, often incorporating fugal technique and displaying radical departure from conventional sonata form. The "Hammerklavier" was deemed to be Beethoven's most difficult sonata yet. In fact, it was considered unplayable until almost 15 years later, when Liszt played it in a concert .Opus 101: Piano Sonata No. 28 in A major (1816) Opus 106: Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-flat major ("Hammerklavier") (1818) Opus 109: Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major (1820) Opus 110: Piano Sonata No. 31 in A-flat major (1821)Opus 111: Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor (1822)
