Wiener Urtext Edition Releases a Collection of Beethoven's Piano Works

Jun. 01, 2021

Ludwig van Beethoven left a considerable number of individual pieces for piano in addition to sonatas and variations. They range from larger works such as "Rage Over A Lost Penny" or the Fantasia, Op. 77 to the ingenious miniatures of the Bagatelles. In terms of their origin and history, they span the entire œuvre of the composer's output from his time in Bonn to the last years of his life. The new Wiener Urtext Edition completes the previous selection with important works, e.g. the Rondos (WoO 48 and 49) from 1784, which are also of pedagogical interest, and less well-known pieces, such as the musically attractive Allegretto in C minor (WoO 214). All the works have been re-examined from the sources and offer a significantly improved "Urtext". Even Beethoven's most famous piano piece Für Elise has undergone minor retouching to remove any unsupported editorial changes of the 20th century. This edition includes also the Ländlerischer Tanz (“Ländler-like Dance”) which was discovered in 2020.
