Ludwig van Beethoven : Violoncello Sonata A major op. 69

Violoncello and Piano – Classical Period

About Editor/Fingering/Bowing:

This Urtext Edition is edited by Jens Dufner. The piano fingering is provided by Ian Fountain, and the specialized fingering and bowing for the violoncello are by the renowned cellist David Geringas.

Description:

Of Beethoven's five cello sonatas, the Grande Sonate op. 69, published in 1809, is not only the centerpiece but also musically the most significant. The artful coupling of the two instruments is on display from the outset in an almost programmatic manner, when the cello with its tenor timbre first intones a melody that the piano then continues. In this sonata, too, Beethoven dispenses with a slow movement while nevertheless compensating us with an enchanting Adagio cantabile introduction to the finale. The Urtext edition by Jens Dufner is based on his research for the Beethoven Complete Edition, featuring a musical text at the highest scholarly level.

Product Features:

• Scholarly Urtext Base: Based on research for the Critical Report of the Beethoven Complete Edition.
• Dual String Parts: Includes both marked string parts (with fingerings/bowings) and unmarked Urtext parts.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Features a preface and Critical Report outlining the genesis and source situation.
• Renowned Contributors: Technical markings provided by Ian Fountain and David Geringas.

Performance Tips:

Categorized as Difficulty 7 (difficult), this sonata is a staple for advanced cellists and is a recommended piece for ABRSM Violoncello Grade 8, ARSM, and FRSM. Performers should focus on the lyrical partnership between the cello's tenor register and the piano's accompaniment. The Adagio cantabile introduction requires a deep, expressive quality to effectively bridge the work to its spirited finale.

路德維希·凡·貝多芬 : A大調大提琴奏鳴曲，作品 69

大提琴與鋼琴 – 古典時期

編輯、指法、弓法介紹:

本原典版 (Urtext) 由 Jens Dufner 擔任編訂。鋼琴指法由 Ian Fountain 提供，大提琴專屬的指法與弓法標記則由大提琴名家 David Geringas 親自操刀。

簡介:

在貝多芬的五首大提琴奏鳴曲中，1809 年出版的《大奏鳴曲》(Grande Sonate) 作品 69 不僅是核心之作，在音樂意義上也最為深遠。兩件樂器之間巧妙的結合從一開始就以近乎標題音樂的方式展現：大提琴以其男高音般的音色首唱旋律，隨後由鋼琴接續。在這首奏鳴曲中，貝多芬同樣省略了獨立的慢板樂章，但卻以一段迷人的《如歌的安魂曲》(Adagio cantabile) 作為終曲的序奏。Jens Dufner 的原典版基於 貝多芬作品全集 的批判性報告研究，呈現了最高學術水準的音樂文本。

產品特點:

• 學術原典標準：基於 貝多芬作品全集 的最新研究成果編訂。
• 雙分譜配置：同時提供標註指法與弓法的標記版分譜，以及純淨的 Urtext 原典分譜。
• 詳盡歷史背景：序言與批判性報告中詳細概述了作品的創作過程與文獻來源。
• 專業指法標註：由專家 Ian Fountain 與 David Geringas 提供實用的演奏指引。

演奏提示:

此作品難度評定為 7 級（困難），並被列為 ABRSM 大提琴 8 級、ARSM 以及 FRSM 的推薦曲目。演奏者應專注於大提琴男高音聲區與鋼琴之間的抒情夥伴關係。終曲前的 Adagio cantabile 需要深沉且具歌唱性的表現力，以完美銜接後續充滿活力的樂段。

作曲家與編者介紹:

路德維希·凡·貝多芬 (1770–1827) 是古典樂派轉向浪漫樂派的關鍵巨人。編者 Jens Dufner 在 貝多芬作品全集 領域有極深造詣，確保了此版本在學術上的嚴謹性與權威性。
