Description
Beethoven's Sonata op. 90 is regarded as one of his more accessible works, with the exception of two sections; however, it demands meticulous attention to both individual passages and the overall interpretation, as noted by a contemporary critic. This meticulousness contributes to the sonata's enduring popularity among both piano students and professional musicians. It presents various challenges, such as the challenging tenth intervals in the left hand, and is characterized by its "uniqueness, striking twists and turns, and an unfamiliar yet compelling structure," according to a contemporary observer. The insights and fingerings provided by Murray Perahia offer valuable guidance in navigating these complexities.
