Beethoven: Sonata No. 14 (Op. 27 No. 2) For Discount

Beethoven s Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp Minor (Sonata quasi una fantasia), Op. 27, No. 2, is among the best loved and most frequently performed works of any composer. The nickname moonlight probably came from a poetic phrase used to describe the sonata in about 1832, four years after Beethoven s death. Dr. Stewart Gordon s editions of Beethoven s most popular piano sonatas provide the key to a stylistic performance. Thorough research of the earliest available sources has enabled Dr. Gordon to produce the most accurate reflection of the composer s intent. Each sonata contains helpful fingering suggestions and performance recommendations. Other editors conclusions are noted where performance options are open to interpretation.
