A comprehensive and immersive survey of thirty-five Beethoven piano sonatas

Beethoven’s piano sonatas are among the iconic cornerstones of the classical music repertoire. Jan Marisse Huizing offers an in-depth study of the sonatas using available autograph and first editions and nearly three hundred musical examples. Digging into the historical background and historical performance practices of the piano sonatas, Huizing provides illuminating detail on Beethoven’s characteristics of notation, form and content, ""types of touch,"" articulation, beaming, pedal indications, character, rubato, meter, metric constructions, metronome marks, and tempo.
