(Unlocking the Masters). Beethoven's works for solo piano the
sonatas, variations, and bagatelles and the five concertos for
piano and orchestra stand at the heart of the repertory.
Beethoven's Piano Music: A Listener's Guide, by Victor Lederer,
will help the motivated reader understand this popular but often
knotty music. The bulk of the text consists of a
movement-by-movement analysis of the 32 sonatas, fascinating for
their individuality and for the way they trace the master's
development. In addition to the sonatas, Lederer also takes the
reader through the most significant of the variations. The greatest
is the Diabelli, Beethoven's monumental takeoff on a trivial theme,
but three more sets, the 32 Variations in C minor, the Variations
on an Original Theme, Op. 34, and the "Eroica" Variations, Op. 35,
are also of the highest quality. And the Bagatelles, Opp. 33, 119,
and 126, are short but strong studies that display different
aspects of Beethoven's musical personality. Finally, Lederer
discusses the five piano concertos in detail, showing the influence
of the sublime models of Mozart in the first three concertos, with
Beethoven boldly finding his own voice with the beloved Fourth and
Fifth Concertos. The book comes with a Naxos CD containing
performances by pianist Jeno Jando that illustrate the text.
