  • Classic Must-Have for Pianists
Format: Paperback
Cheaper than Henle and others, this was an older used copy so printing was better. Newer Schirmer's printing and paper not as good as the ones I still have that are literally 70-80 years old. After the USPS lost a significant portion of my piano music that would cost many hundreds of dollars to replace and wouldn't pay up the insurance, I look for good used copies on Amazon. Often, used copies have useful markings by teachers. This volume contains the two most popular sonatas, "Moonlight" and "Pathetique." Sonata No. 1 is fun for novices to play as well. ... show more

  • Another great Schirmer volume
Format: Paperback
I bought both of these volumes simply for the sake of completeness--I am neither an avid Beethoven player nor a musicologist--and I have to say that just having these gorgeous books in my library have inspired me to start learning a few! The books are paperback, but the covers are not at all cheap, it is heavy cardstock that stands up to use and abuse. The printing is clear and legible, and seems to be a facsimile of an older edition, but that's characteristic of Schirmer's. Both come with a full Thematic Index (showing the first substantial measure) of all 32 sonatas, allowing you to identify quickly which one is in which book. The best thing is that they are bound to lay flat, and I never have a problem trying to smooth down pages so that they don't flip over when I'm listening to or playing the pieces. I have only one small complaint. Although the footnotes are copious and incredibly helpful, at times the editor gets a little too excited about writing them. On the first page of one of the later sonatas, there is room for only two staffs, and then the rest of the page is covered in footnotes! It's not even really a complaint, because once the pieces are memorized the book's layout doesn't matter. Buy these books. You can't beat the price, and the quality is far above any expectation. Dover doesn't stand a chance. ... show more

  • Fast and exactly what I wanted!
Format: Paperback
I got this shipped in a day! (granted I live in WI as well as the seller). It's in great condition, with lamination on the edges and spine of the book to keep it nice. The book is bigger than I expected, which is always a pleasant surprise. Thanks so much!

  • All the sonatas are here, and they're a bargain.
Format: Paperback
These two volumes in the Schirmer library (Book 1 AND Book 2) actually contain all 32 of Beethoven's piano sonatas. What a treat to listen to them and follow along in the manuscript. These are THICK books, and rather heavy, but they are a genuine bargain.

  • This is a great buy for the price
Format: Paperback
This is a great buy for the price. It contains sonatas 1-17. It is a little over edited, as typical of the Schumer edition, and it also does not lay flat well.
