Beethoven Piano Sonatas 16-32 (Volume II)

I had this same volume previously, but it somehow got misplaced or lost, so I was very happy to see that this same version (Schenker) was still available. A must-have book for any piano-playing Beethoven fan.

Good work, Ludwig!

This is a fine production where attention has been paid to the format of the collection to ensure that reading is easy and the size of the font os just right for the player with glasses. The music itself is an absolute joy.
