Professor Sir Donald Tovey's celebrated bar-by-bar analysis of
Beethoven's 32 Pianoforte Sonatasremains a key text for pianists,
students, scholars and music lovers. Intended as a companion to the
ABRSM's Complete Pianoforte Sonatas edition - edited by Harold
Craxton but with each work prefaced by Tovey's practical and
critical notes - the book contains a succinct and illuminating
summary of the author's analytical approach before each sonata is
dealt with in detail. This new imprint is prefaced with an
introduction by Dr Barry Cooper, Lecturer in the Music Department
of Manchester University. Tovey's text is reproduced faithfully;
however, Dr Cooper has added footnotes to correct errors of fact or
to qualify conclusions drawn by Tovey that the passage of time,
since the book was first published in 1931, has suggested might be
questionable. With the re-issue of this book, Tovey's famed
insight, commonsense and wit will continue to enlighten and
entertain the author's devotees, as well as a new generation of
performers and students.
