Klaviersonate F-Dur op. 10 No. 2 - Ut50431

Beethoven''s Sonata in F major Op. 10/2, like its sister in C minor Op. 10/1, is one of the most frequently played works in piano lessons or piano studies. In contrast to the darker and more abrupt tones of opus 10/1, the Sonata in F major is characterised by cheerfulness, even sparkling humour, which is only interrupted by more pensive tones in the F minor middle movement. The new edition is based on the first edition published in 1798 - the autograph is lost - but also draws on contemporary early printings to back up the musical text. Variants that only appeared in the later 19th century are eliminated from the musical text, but their origin is explained in the Critical Notes. The edition thus offers an excellent working basis for lessons and concerts.Instrumentation:pianoop. 10/2
