About This Item
London: J M Dent, 1938. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. First UK edition, first printing. Hardback, bound in the original brown cloth with gilt titling to spine. 25.5 × 16cm, 251pp. This work is a definitive critical exploration of the world of Beethoven's piano music. It presents detailed analyses of the technique and form of each of Beethoven's thirty-two published pianoforte sonatas, and discusses the composer's evolution from the Mozartian clarity of Op. 2, No. 2, to the final intricacies of the Hammerklavier. In addition, twelve essays deal with those all-important artistic considerations which, though impossible to analyze structurally, are what the author refers to as "the difference between competence and genius." Condition: A good solid copy, with a school's music prize label to the front pastedown.
