?Sonata quasi una fantasia? was the title given to it by Beethoven and yet the world of music knows it as the ?Moonlight Sonata? an epithet that was already around during the composer?s lifetime. ?The lake rests quiet under thelight of the moon at twilight; the wave thuds against the dark bank? wrote Ludwig Rellstab on the 1st movement in 1823. ?It is as if we catch sight of a colossal grave in the middle of a lonely plain palely lit by the sicklemoon? was what Wilhelm von Lenz wrote. Beethoven might have been influenced by the sound of the Aeolian harp as Murray Perahia and Norbert Gertsch explain in the introductory texts to this edition referring to the latestresearch. Perahia also provided the fingerings.

Bartok wrote his Piano Concerto No.3 during the summer of 1945 intending it as a birthday present to his wife Ditta on 31st October. By this time he was already gravely ill; however he was able to finish the score with the exception of the last seventeen bars which he notated in a kind of musical shorthand. These last bars were later deciphered and scored by his pupil and friend Tibor Serly. This is a reduction for 2 Pianos four hands by Matyas Seiber.

Par SIBELIUS JEAN. After preparing his Scenes historiques op. 66 for print in spring 1912, Sibelius had many grand plans but had to turn towards more profitable piano works first, due to his financial situation. Within only one month, he wrote the Three Sonatinas op. 67 in June 1912, which were published by Breitkopf already in November the same year. Although by his own accounts he did not like writing for piano and only doing it for income, he told in 1948 Erik Tawaststjerna that he regarded the Sonatinas among his best chamber music and considered them equal to his string quartet ?Voces intimae?. / Date parution : 2022-11-04/ Recueil / Piano
