Reviews
Barry Cooper's edition of the complete 35 Beethoven sonatas for ABRSM was a watershed of musicological research. It fused state-of-the-art findings with practical help, and there is currently no other Beethoven edition on the market that is able to provide so much ... his edition of the Grand Sonata in A flat comes with detailed editorial comments, as well as references to advice from Beethoven's celebrated pupil Czerny and much help with interpretation. * MUSO *
It is good to see individual works from the collection appearing on the market. Each comes with background notes ... In all this is an excellent, authoritative and user-friendly edition. * International Piano *
This new edition offers a wealth of fascinating information as well as the musical details and historical data that will interest all types of pianists ... and, as is always the case with ABRSM, these sheet copies offer excellent value for money. * EPTA Piano Journal *
