Beethoven：Piano Sonata in F Minor, Op. 57 – Appassionata

Author: Ludwig van Beethoven

Description
Alongside the Moonlight and Waldstein Sonatas, Beethoven’s Appassionata stands as one of his most celebrated piano sonatas. Together, these works mark a new high point in Beethoven’s piano compositions. Even Vladimir Lenin famously remarked, “Such miraculous works can only be made by man,” emphasizing its profound artistic impact.

Interestingly, the nickname Appassionata first appeared in 1838 in a four-hand piano transcription published by Cranz Verlag in Hamburg. While not originally given by Beethoven, the title has since become inseparable from the sonata. It perfectly captures the dramatic contrasts of the first movement, the solemn introspection of the second, and the demonic passion of the third.

Performance Notes
This Urtext edition provides a faithful and authoritative representation of Beethoven’s original manuscript. The carefully edited score ensures a clear and accurate interpretation of the sonata’s expressive nuances and technical demands.

貝多芬：F小調鋼琴奏鳴曲，作品57 – 熱情奏鳴曲

作者： 路德維希・范・貝多芬

簡介
與月光奏鳴曲 (Moonlight Sonata) 和華爾斯坦奏鳴曲 (Waldstein Sonata) 並列，貝多芬的熱情奏鳴曲 (Appassionata) 無疑是最具代表性的鋼琴奏鳴曲之一，這三部作品標誌著貝多芬鋼琴創作的巔峰時期。連列寧也曾讚嘆道：「如此神奇的作品，唯有人類才能創造！」足見其影響力與藝術價值。

值得注意的是，熱情奏鳴曲的名稱並非貝多芬親自命名，而是1838年首次出現在漢堡克蘭茨出版社（Cranz Verlag）出版的四手聯彈改編版本中。然而，這一名稱如今已與該作品密不可分，並恰如其分地描繪了樂曲的特點——第一樂章的戲劇性對比、第二樂章的莊嚴內斂，以及第三樂章的狂熱激情。

演奏提示
本Urtext版本忠實還原貝多芬的原始手稿，並經過精心編輯，確保樂譜的清晰度與準確性，使演奏者能夠忠實詮釋樂曲的情感張力與技術細節。
