Even in Beethoven's day the 'Moonlight' Sonata was a popular
favourite. This 1999 book provides an accessible introduction to
the Sonatas Opp. 27 and 31 (including The 'Moonlight' and 'The
Tempest'), aimed at pianists, students, and music lovers. It begins
with the works' historical background - the emergence of a 'piano
culture' at the end of the eighteenth century, Beethoven's
aristocratic milieu in Vienna, and his oft-quoted intention to
follow a new compositional path. An account of the sonatas' genesis
is followed by a discussion of their reception history, including a
survey of changing performing styles since the mid-nineteenth
century. The concept of the Sonata quasi una Fantasia is examined
in relation to the cult of artistic sensibility in
early-nineteenth-century Vienna. The study concludes with a
critical introduction to each sonata.
