All the Beethoven<br />

piano sonatas in<br />

Bärenreiter Urtext<br />

editions<br />

The year 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig<br />

van Beethoven. By then all of his piano sonatas will be available<br />

in high-quality cutting edge Bärenreiter Urtext editions, edited<br />

by Jonathan Del Mar.<br />

Del Mar, a worldwide authority and acclaimed Beethoven<br />

specialist, has meticulously examined every available source and<br />

evaluated many impressions of prints issued during Beethoven’s<br />

lifetime. The works appear with a musical text at the forefront<br />

of musical scholarship, accompanied by a Critical Commentary<br />

covering all alternative readings and editorial decisions.<br />

It need hardly be added that each edition contains an elegant and<br />

spacious engraving and practical page turns, the emphasis always<br />

being to reflect the character of the music in the best possible<br />

way. Detailed Introductions on the genesis and significance of<br />

each work are supplemented by valuable suggestions regarding<br />

period performance practice.<br />

Jonathan Del Mar (*1951) is a conductor and musicologist. His<br />

edition of Beethoven’s nine symphonies, likewise published by<br />

Bärenreiter (1996-2000), caused a sensation and has been used<br />

by leading conductors ever since. Further Bärenreiter Urtext<br />

editions of Beethoven’s works have been edited by Del Mar<br />

including the Piano Concertos and Triple Concerto, the Cello<br />

Sonatas and several string quartets. He has also produced fine<br />

Urtext editions of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto and Symphony No. 7<br />

as well as the Elgar Cello Concerto.<br />
