Beethoven：Eroica Variations, Op. 35

Author: Ludwig van Beethoven

Description
Composed in 1802, Beethoven’s Fifteen Variations and Fugue, Op. 35, commonly known as the Eroica Variations, derives its name from the fact that its theme was later used in the finale of his Third Symphony (Eroica). This work, along with Op. 34, marks a significant development in Beethoven’s variation form, introducing character variations, where each variation possesses its own distinct identity rather than serving as mere embellishments of the theme. Beethoven proudly emphasized to his publisher that both works were composed in an entirely new manner.

For the first time, the Eroica Variations are available as a standalone Urtext edition. The musical text is based on the later Critical Apparatus of the Beethoven Complete Edition, ensuring an authoritative and scholarly presentation. This edition includes a detailed foreword and commentary, offering valuable insights into the work’s history and structure. Fingering has been provided by the esteemed pianist Ian Fountain.

Performance Notes
This Urtext edition provides a carefully edited score that remains faithful to Beethoven’s original intentions. Ian Fountain’s fingerings assist in navigating the technical and expressive demands of the variations, making this an indispensable edition for pianists.

About the Author

貝多芬：英雄變奏曲，作品35

作者： 路德維希・范・貝多芬

簡介
貝多芬於1802年創作的十五變奏曲與賦格，作品35 (Fifteen Variations and Fugue, Op. 35)，因與第三號交響曲《英雄》 (Eroica Symphony) 終樂章使用相同主題，而被稱為英雄變奏曲 (Eroica Variations)。此曲與作品34同樣標誌著貝多芬變奏曲風格的重大突破，開創了性格變奏 (Character Variations)，使每個變奏具備獨立的音樂個性，而不只是對主題的裝飾。貝多芬曾自豪地向出版商強調，這兩部作品採用了「全新的編曲方式」。

本次出版為該曲首次以單獨Urtext版本發行，樂譜依據貝多芬全集 (Beethoven Complete Edition) 的最新研究進行校訂，確保學術性與演奏價值。書中附有詳盡的前言與注釋，提供樂曲背景與結構分析，並由知名鋼琴家伊恩・方登（Ian Fountain）編訂指法，使演奏者能夠更有效地掌握技巧與詮釋。
