Piano Collection. Classical. Softcover. 146 pages. Schott Music #ED23967. Published by Schott Music (HL.49047799).
ISBN 9783795734152. UPC: 196288384496. 7.0x10.0x0.642 inches.
Beethoven's piano sonatas are among the most significant works in music history – widely discussed and analyzed. This book, however, takes a new approach: it focuses not primarily on the musical structure, but on the question of why these sonatas were composed in the first place. At its heart is the “poetic idea,” often emphasized by Beethoven himself – that inner image, that extramusical concept, which for him was the starting point of the creative process. In a fascinating blend of analysis and interpretation, Walter Pfann explores the extramusical world of ideas that underlies Beethoven's sonatas – from passionate love experiences and political upheavals to personal crises. The sonatas thus appear as sounding self-portraits, as musical diaries of an exceptional artist. With great expertise, clear language, and a keen sense of the emotional depth of the works, this book opens up new perspectives for performers, listeners, and lovers of piano music. Excursions into musical form and illustrative diagrams deepen the understanding ofthe compositions – not as dry theory, but as guides to vibrant interpretation. An inspiring companion through the poetic landscape of a unique musical cosmos.
