Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Edited by Jonathan Del Mar. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Barenreiter Urtext. Score. Opus 73. Duration 38 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09025. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09025).ISBN 9790006559084. 32.5 x 25.5 cm inches. Key: E-flat major. Text Language: English, German. Preface: Jonathan Del Mar.
Beethoven’s fifth and final piano concerto is at the same time the culmination of his efforts in this genre and a reflection of all his artistic skill and expertise. The surviving manuscripts provide a clear insight into his working methods and his intentions regarding the work’s performance.
The editor, Jonathan Del Mar, has closely scrutinised the autograph solo piano part and reproduced Beethoven’s sophisticated performance instructions for the first time in a modern edition. Among other things, this has special repercussions for the left-hand figured bass line of the piano part during the tutti passages.
As with the Piano Concertos Nos. 1 to 4, the piano reduction appears with a separate solo part containing all the information needed by the soloist to conduct the ensemble from the piano.
