Beethoven's piano sonatas are a cornerstone of the piano repertoire
and favourites of both the concert hall and recording studio. The
sonatas have been the subject of much scholarship, but no single
study gives an adequate account of the processes by which these
sonatas were composed and published. With source materials such as
sketches and correspondence increasingly available, the time is
ripe for a close study of the history of these works. Barry Cooper,
who in 2007 produced a new edition of all 35 sonatas, including
three that are often overlooked, examines each sonata in turn,
addressing questions such as: Why were they written? Why did they
turn out as they did? How did they come into being and how did they
reach their final form? Drawing on the composer's sketches,
autograph scores and early printed editions, as well as contextual
material such as correspondence, Cooper explores the links between
the notes and symbols found in the musical texts of the sonatas,
and the environment that brought them about. The result is a
biography not of the composer, but of the works themselves.
