Sonata No. 17 in D Minor, "Tempest," Op. 31, No. 2 - Piano

For over half a century Henle's edition of the Beethoven sonatas - the New Testament of piano repertoire - has been universally recognized as the standard starting-point for any serious study of these works. Here, in these publications of the three Op. 31 sonatas in revised separate editions, Murray Perahia has agreed, for the first time ever, to publish his fingerings and, as co-editor, to confide his profound insights into the sources to music lovers everywhere. The musical text has been prepared in strict accordance with the rules of modern Urtext editing, and the volume is rounded off with a lengthy and informative preface and detailed notes on sources and alternative readings.
