“... it will be a long time before anyone materially improves upon this text and its accompanying critical apparatus!” (Leslie Howard).

With his edition of Beethoven’s piano sonatas, Jonathan Del Mar has set new editorial standards that go far beyond the mere discovery of wrong notes: His approach guarantees a critical study of the sources, based solely on the evaluation of the physically tangible sources themselves and dispensing with hypotheses. Now the second volume of Del Mar’s edition with fingering is also available.

The fingering by prominent pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin aims to make the tonal nuances audible that were intended by Beethoven through specific articulation, phrasing, dynamics and tempo, also in combination with the use of pedalling. Another important aspect of the fingering is to support the interaction of arms, hands and fingers to master technically difficult passages.
