Whereas in
past decades Urtext
editions with assorted
aspirations and readings
by various editors were
the primary points of
departure in addressing
Beethoven's piano
sonatas, today it is more
often the question of
what significance
so-called instructive
editions have in the
history of
interpretation, what
additional benefit is
generated from them, and
wherein lies their
legitimacy. Unlike his
teacher Hans von Bulow in
his edition of the
sonatas, Lamond did not
allow any intervention in
the music text per se.
His indications give
instead interpretive
approaches, additionally
inspiring today's
musicians in the
realization of the
musical composition. By
the beginning of the 20th
century he was a
successful and celebrated
pianist, concertizing in
the US and across much of
Europe. He repeatedly
caused a stir with his
Beethoven projects such
as performing sixteen
sonatas as well as the
Diabelli and Eroica
variations within four
days at the Queen's Hall
in London (1925). Dating
from this period is also
his edition of
Beethoven's 32 piano
sonatas that first
appeared from Breitkopf &
Hartel in 1923. Frederic
Lamond thus epitomizes
Beethoven interpretation.
Even today his name is
still associated
primarily with Beethoven.
The present ,,Instructive
Edition of Beethoven's 32
Piano Sonatas is a part
of the ,,Breitkopf
Originals series on the
occasion of Beethoven's
250th Birthday in 2020.
Apart from the
established Urtext
editions, this reissue
opens up a fascinating
view on the
interpretation- and
performance practice of
one of the most important
Beethoven interpreters in
the 19th and 20th
century.
