Sonata No. 23 in F Minor, Op. 57 is considered by many, including Beethoven, to be one of his greatest sonatas. The nickname "appassionata" probably came from a four-hand version entitled Sonata appassionata, published in Hamburg in 1838. The famous opening thematic statement played two octaves apart and repeated immediately a half step higher sets a mood of tension and conflict in this majestic sonata. Dr. Stewart Gordon’s editions of Beethoven's most popular piano sonatas provide the key to a stylistic performance. Thorough research of the earliest available sources has enabled Dr. Gordon to produce the most accurate reflection of the composer’s intent. Each sonata contains helpful fingering suggestions and performance recommendations.

Beethoven wrote 32 sonatas for piano. Volume 1, edited by Stewart Gordon, includes the first 8 sonatas (Op. 2, Nos. 1-3; Op. 7; Op. 10, Nos. 1-3; and Op. 13 ["Pathétique"]), written between 1795 and 1799. Since these autographs no longer exist, this edition is based on the first editions, published by various Viennese engravers. Dr. Gordon discusses a variety of topics including Beethoven's life; the pianos of his time and their limitations; Beethoven's use of articulation, ornamentation, tempo; and the age-old challenge of attempting to determine the definitive interpretation of Beethoven's music. Valuable performance recommendations, helpful fingering suggestions and ornament realizations are offered in this comprehensive critical body of Beethoven's sonatas. Where performance options are open to interpretation, other editors' conclusions are noted, enabling students and teachers to make informed performance decisions.

The American pianist Abbey Simon, whose illustrious career bridges the golden era and today's world, has been hailed as a grand master of the piano, recognized for an exquisite artistry that has brought him to international acclaim after winning the 1940 Naumburg Prize. Through a series of conversations curated and edited by Simon's former student, Dr. Garnet Ungar, this book traces Simon's artistic and personal journey, from his childhood exploits at the Curtis Institute to navigating the thorny business of music and, of course, the music itself.Witty, insightful, and marvelously recounted, Simon presents an unapologetic and captivating window into the glorious age of the piano as seen from an insider, while illustrating the roles of the artist beyond the realms of the concert stage: that of a pedagogue and mentor, a husband and father, a colleague and friend.
