Wiener Urtext Edition
Notes on Interpretation by Carl Czerny
Fingering by Boris Bloch
The so-called Moonlight Sonata is probably the best known of all of Beethoven's piano sonatas, and one should think that all that can be said about this work has already been said. But far from it! Even this sonata shows problems in the surviving musical text into which the new edition looks very meticulously. Is it a note-head or a staccato dot in bar 159 of the 3rd movement? This and other questions are answered in the edition and reasonably explained in the Critical Notes.
Furthermore, the edition contains remarks of Beethoven's pupil Carl Czerny concerning the performance practice which introduce us into the poetic way of thinking, among others, that is behind the work and provides an essential impetus to a highly imaginative interpretation.
