In 1912 Heinrich Schenker contracted with the Viennese publisher
Universal Edition to provide an 'elucidatory edition'
(ErlAuterungsausgabe) of Beethoven's last five piano sonatas. Each
publication would comprise a score, newly edited by Schenker and
using the composer's autograph manuscript as principal source,
together with a substantial commentary combining analytical,
text-critical and performance-related matter. Four of the five
editions appeared between 1913 and 1921, but that of the
'Hammerklavier' Sonata, op. 106, was never published. It has
generally been assumed that this was simply because Schenker was
unable to locate the autograph manuscript, which remains missing to
this day. But as Nicholas Marston shows in a detailed history of
the ErlAuterungsausgabe project, other factors were involved also,
including financial considerations, Schenker's health concerns, and
his broader theoretical ambitions. Moreover, despite the missing
autograph he nevertheless developed a voice-leading analysis of the
complete sonata during the years 1924-1926, a crucial period in the
development of his mature theory of tonal music. Marston's book
provides the first in-depth study of this rich analysis, which is
reproduced in full in high-quality digital images. The book draws
on hundreds of letters and documents from Schenker's NachlaAY; it
both adds to our biographical knowledge of Schenker and illuminates
for the first time the response of this giant of music theory to
one of the most significant masterworks in all music.
