New Beethoven sonata reconstructed from 1792

[martinoei]

Anybody interested how the previously unpublished first notes sound for the Early pastorale? It's on the video on the Dutch crowdfunding site, just click on the banner on my website. It is in Dutch, sorry.

We will record this sonata for the first time in summer. On October 21, the world premiere takes place at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. It is a very beautiful piece, I play it almost every day now. Tomorrow I have another lesson at the musicologist and composer Cees Nieuwenhuizen, who will publish the scores this year.

Whow, this interests me very much! Is there a way to listen to it already now or look at the notes? The video has a lot of talking but not the sonata ...

Hi Gerd!
I say "half new". The sonata is the "famous" Fantasy Biamonti 213. I have published the sonata and the whole Kafka Skizzenbuch on my site. http://www.lvbeethoven.it/Oeuvres/Be...ml#Biamonti213 Besides, you can find the sonata on our CD: INEDITARECORDS http://www.ineditacd.com/asp/Dettaglio.asp?ID=PI2362
And on that of Monument Records http://www.monumentrecords.com/catalog.asp and on that of Beethoven Discover of my friend John Kersey http://rdrecs.wordpress.com/2009/12/...-of-beethoven/
You finally, find also the third time reconstructed by Willem. http://www.unheardbeethoven.org/sear...ce=biam213.mid
What sinned! also I hoped in something less less known!

Reconstruction

Dear Armando, thank you for your comment. The piece has been reconstructed for the first time, by Cees Nieuwenhuizen, often the left hand was missing, much drama has been added in the style of Beethoven.
The piece has been completed now. The scores will be available from October 2012 onwards. We will keep you informed, the recordings will be made in August this year both on fortepiano and a modern grand piano.

I thank you, dear Martinoei!
All "New" Beethoven's music is always a gifts! I have listened with great interest the recording. I believe that Cees Nieuwenhuizen has very learned by our Albert Willem Holsbergen job. Nevertheless I think that the version most faithful is that of Massimo Anfossi. (IneditaRecords). We have avoided to read from the transcript of Kerman. No we have directly departed from the manuscript (folio 90 recto - 95 versus). Example? To start, Kerman transcribes to the page 90 Recto, 39° measure (left hand) accord D-F-A. Surely this can be correct, but it seems rather a mistake in the context of the musical discourse before that Beethoven develops a little anymore. (measures folio 90, recto, measures 43-55)
In the cd of Inedita we have totally omitted the third movement. This is a......... moral question! The third movement is too much much fragmentary. We go really in the sphere of the hypotheses.... the English language has a splendid sentence:"Performing Edition" rather than "reconstruction". To add too notes is really a crime of "injured majesty" (I don't know if in English we can say this way....). (I make a really exception for Gerd's job: Gerd is an enthusiastic man!).
Kind Martinoei, if you have seen the Kafka, I can say that this Sketchbook is a gold mine. And this gold is enough for numerous researchers. The rough or complete music are at least 350!

Grazie molte dalla calda Genova!

Your Armando

I downloaded the file from Armando's link, and those chords sound a lot like the 2nd mov. of the Appassionata. Interesting.
