From the era of great Beethoven specialists like Wilhelm Backhaus to more recent multifaceted musicians like Alfred Brendel and Maurizio Pollini, Ludwig van Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas represent a titanic challenge and an irresistible attraction for all great pianists: the "New Testament" of the piano, as Hans von Bülow called them. Stimulated by Martin Meyer's questions, András Schiff reveals all the secrets of his approach to the sonatas, guiding the reader through the extraordinary evolution of Beethoven's musical language, from the youthful op. 2 sonatas to the visionary realizations of his maturity. This guide offers all the tools for a conscious listening experience of the sonatas.
