Piano Sonata Op. 10/1

Description

Piano — This popular Sonata prompted Beethoven to write two pieces as possible third movements before the finale. Ultimately, the composer decided to retain a three-movement form and the two additions were discarded. The present edition is the first to include a critical edition of the Sonata, together with the two abandoned pieces (WoO 52 & 53). The publisher notes, “This publication is not intended to be played as a sonata with 4 or even 5 movements. It could however, be considered as a suggestion for the conceptual design of a piano recital that features the original three movement version of the Sonata as well as the two piano pieces.”
