Beethoven：Klaviersonate Nr. 14 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2 – Moonlight Sonata

Author: Ludwig van Beethoven

Description
Beethoven titled this work Sonata quasi una fantasia, yet the world knows it as the Moonlight Sonata, a name that emerged even during the composer’s lifetime. The evocative imagery surrounding the piece was reinforced by poet Ludwig Rellstab in 1823, who described the first movement as “The lake rests quiet under the light of the moon at twilight—the wave thuds against the dark bank.” Wilhelm von Lenz later wrote, “It is as if we catch sight of a colossal grave in the middle of a lonely plain, palely lit by the sickle moon.”

Recent research suggests that Beethoven may have been influenced by the sound of the Aeolian harp in crafting the sonata’s ethereal first movement. This edition includes insightful introductory texts by Murray Perahia and Norbert Gertsch, shedding light on these findings. The fingering is provided by Perahia, ensuring a highly practical edition for pianists.

Performance Notes
This Urtext edition presents a meticulously edited score based on the latest scholarly research. With detailed fingering by Murray Perahia and clear notation, it serves as an authoritative reference for both interpretation and performance. The Moonlight Sonata requires delicate touch, expressive control, and dynamic contrast, making it an engaging challenge for intermediate to advanced pianists.

貝多芬：C♯小調第十四號鋼琴奏鳴曲，作品27之2 – 月光奏鳴曲

作者： 路德維希・范・貝多芬

簡介
貝多芬將此曲命名為 「如幻想曲般的奏鳴曲」 (Sonata quasi una fantasia)，然而世人更熟知它的名稱——月光奏鳴曲 (Moonlight Sonata)。這個稱號早在貝多芬生前便已流傳，並受到詩人路德維希・雷爾施塔布（Ludwig Rellstab）在1823年的詩句加強了其意象：「湖泊在黃昏的月光下靜靜沉睡，波浪輕輕拍打著黑暗的岸邊。」後來，音樂評論家威廉・馮・倫茨（Wilhelm von Lenz）更形容：「宛如一座巨大的墓碑矗立於荒涼的平原，蒼白的月光灑落其上。」

近代研究推測，貝多芬可能受到風琴弦樂（Aeolian harp）的音色影響，塑造出第一樂章的飄渺音響。本版本由國際知名鋼琴家穆雷・佩拉希亞（Murray Perahia）與學者諾伯特・格特施（Norbert Gertsch）共同撰寫導讀，提供嶄新的音樂觀點，並由佩拉希亞標示指法，使其成為極具演奏價值的權威版本。

演奏提示
本Urtext版本忠實還原貝多芬的手稿，根據最新學術研究進行編修，確保樂譜的準確性與可讀性。第一樂章的飄渺氛圍要求細膩的觸鍵與控制，第二樂章輕盈而優雅，而第三樂章則充滿激情與戲劇張力，對於中級至高級鋼琴演奏者而言是一場精彩的挑戰。
