The entire corpus of Beethoven's piano sonatas is contained in this two-volume work — 32 sonatas in all. Volume One contains the fifteen sonatas from Beethoven's first period, including the popular Pathétique, Moonlight, and Pastorale sonatas. Volume Two contains the 17 sonatas from Beethoven's second and third periods, including the Waldstein, the Appassionata, and the Hammerklavier. The music is reproduced directly from the exemplary Universal Edition set edited by Heinrich Schenker. Combining scrupulous scholarship and profound artistic vision, Schenker achieved an edition which is universally admired by musicians and scholars. He used more autographs as sources than any previous editor of the sonatas, and he was the first to reproduce in print the visual impression of the autographs. For this Dover edition, Schenker's footnotes have been translated into English and his preface translated. A new introduction by Carl Schachter has also been included. Noteheads have been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily at the keyboard. Margins and spaces between staves are generous, permitting insertion of written notes, analysis, fingerings, etc. Running measure numbers and many fingerings have already been included by the editor — the last a particularly unusual and valuable feature of this edition. This edition will be welcomed by all pianists, both professional and amateur, for its accuracy and reliability; it is highly desirable for instruction, study, reference, and enjoyment.

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

A contemporary of Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, and Telemann, Jean-Phillipe Rameau (1683–1764) was a notable theorist and innovator and the preeminent French composer of his day. The depth and power that characterize his music are in ample evidence in this volume of all 63 of Rameau's works for keyboard, published between 1706 and 1741, including such well-known pieces as "Musette en Rondeau," "Tambourin," "Les Niais de Sologne," "Les Cyclopes," and "La Poule." The music is reproduced here from the important and well-produced edition of Rameau's keyboard works edited by Camille Saint-Saëns. Because the composer attempted to use his keyboard as a sustaining instrument, these pieces lend themselves especially well to performance on modern pianos. Now today's musicians can enjoy Rameau's complete oeuvre for solo keyboard in this inexpensive high-quality edition.

Like Franz Liszt, Ferruccio Busoni (1866–1924) first earned a worldwide reputation as an extraordinary pianist, and only later turned his efforts to composing. Although he is widely known for his virtuoso transcriptions of music by Bach and Liszt, his original piano compositions are today highly regarded for their combination of technical brilliance and innovative ideas. This modestly priced volume brings together the best and most important Busoni original solo piano works: the seven Elegies; the six Sonatinas; the enormous and complex Contrapuntal Fantasy; the Fantasy after J. S. Bach; the Indian Diary (four piano studies on American Indian motifs); and the six Pieces, Op. 33b. Serious pianists and students of piano music will want to have this impressive and important new compilation in their music libraries.

Mozart Masterpieces: 19 Works for Solo Piano (Dover Music for Piano)

The internationally renowned French organist, recitalist, and composer Alexandre Guilmant (1837–1911) was instrumental in popularizing organ works in the 19th century through the attractive qualities of his many compositions as well as his highly acclaimed performances. In the second half of the 19th century the timely development of the Cavaillé-Coll organ — an instrument of unsurpassed quality and range — did much to establish a school of "symphonic" organ playing in which Guilmant and Charles-Marie Widor played an integral part. This appealing style is exemplified by the works featured in this excellent new compilation. Written between 1874 and 1909, the five sonatas included here consist of three to six sections each and follow diverse formal designs. Reprinted from the original editions edited by the distinguished musical authority Arthur Eaglefield Hull, founder of the British Music Society, the collection includes Sonata No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 42; Sonata No. 2 in D Major, Op. 50; Sonata No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 56; Sonata No. 4 in D Minor, Op. 61; and Sonata No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 80. This inexpensive edition of five of Guilmant's finest works is certain to prove popular with a wide range of musicians and music lovers.

One of the major keyboard composers of the early 20th century, Max Reger made numerous piano arrangements of Bach’s orchestral and chamber compositions, and these piano four-hand arrangements of the Brandenburg Concertos rank among his finest accomplishments in the genre. Not merely reductions of the orchestral scores, Reger’s four-hand versions recast the original masterpieces in a truly pianistic way, creating a fascinating and satisfying addition to the piano four-hand repertoire. Reproduced from a rare edition.
