Beethoven - Piano Sonatas Op 14 No 1 & 2 in E and G

Beethoven only arranged one of his piano sonatas for a different instrumentation: an authentic arrangement of the Sonata op. 14 no. 1 for string quartet still exists He undertook this arrangement to protect himself from those made by others. For this reason he went about it in a meticulous manner; adding, for instance, extremely detailed information regarding dynamics and articulation. The acclaimed pianist Murray Perahia, the co-editor for this new edition of Beethovens Sonatas, also takes this source into account for the revision and in addition provides his own fingerings.
