Description

... it will be a long time before anyone materially improves upon this text and its accompanying critical apparatus! (Leslie Howard). With his edition of Beethovens piano sonatas, Jonathan Del Mar has set new editorial standards that go far beyond the mere discovery of wrong notes: His approach guarantees a critical study of the sources, based solely on the evaluation of the physically tangible sources themselves and dispensing with hypotheses. Long awaited, Bärenreiter now presents the Del Mar edition with fingering.

The fingering by the prominent pianist Marc-André Hamelin aims to make the tonal nuances audible that were intended by Beethoven through specific articulation, phrasing, dynamics and tempo, also in combination with the use of pedalling. Another important aspect of the fingering is to support the interaction of arms, hands and fingers to master technically difficult passages.
