    • Beautiful Beethoven
Format: Paperback
Beautiful publication of my favorite composer! Easy to read print, lovely cover (not the usual boring green or yellow)

    • Urtext edition, incredible value for money
Format: Paperback
This edition is available at a fraction of the price and (contrary to the comments of other reviewers) is probably more accurate than other Urtext editions. The famous musicologist Heinrich Schenker is known for his extreme attention to detail, including, for example, the directions of the stems (which other Urtext editions are not). The only caveat to accuracy is that Beethoven's autographs for a few of the sonatas were not available to the world in Schenker's time but have since become available. Although I always ignore printed fingering, Schenker's is among the most sensible I have seen. The only drawback to this edition is that it is somewhat prescriptive, in the sense that it does not offer choices in the way the Henle edition does. Physically, the Dover edition will last longer and stay open better than other paperback editions. ... show more

    • Excellent, a great purchase for classical pianists.
Format: Paperback
Excellent urtext edition of this wonderful works. Evertyhing is clearly printed, the book stands on its own on any page (may take some time for the first pages), and this edition thinks about something that some other good editions don't: Whenever it's posible, the page change is located in a part of the score where it can be easily done with a single hand, without missing any note. I totally recommend it. ... show more

    • The Beethoven Sonata Collection
Format: Paperback
I recommend buying both volumes of Ludwig van Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas. The cost of the two volumes is roughly equal to buying 5 of the 32 sonatas piecemeal, and is well worth the investment. This particular edition is the one to which I always point my piano students. The clear print, minimal editorial markings, and durability of the book are exemplary. And the cover illustration is a nice touch, too. ... show more

    • Excellent value -- doesn't lay flat
Format: Paperback
Rated 4 1/2 stars: I'm still amazed at how cheap this is, considering it's a 296-page book. It contains Beethoven's first 15 piano sonatas and will provide hours and hours of entertainment at the piano. I love the fact that there are fingers all throughout the pieces (unlike the Schirmer edition), and that there is plenty of space for annotations. For this price, this edition is by far the best value. My only real complaint is that it doesn't lay flat. Many of the reviewers said it did, so I was expecting that. Even when I open it to the middle pages, I need a book on each side to hold the book open. Perhaps after years of use, it will wear down and stay open, but as a new book, don't expect it. ... show more

    • Great version, though still hard to get front pages to stay open
Format: Paperback
Not that this book should be expected to address a longstanding problem with piano books, but even with the lay-flat binding, the front pages will keep shutting (this is just a peeve of mine, probably doesn't bother most people). More importantly, this is my favorite version of Beethoven's Sonatas (this is my third book). In addition to the arrangement, which is most important, the fact that 1-15 are all included in this book is also nice. For me, that covers my most played pieces, though I still have to go to volume 2 for some of my favorites from time to time. ... show more

    • NICE PIANO BOOK
Format: Paperback
Nice edition to my collection of piano books. Some of the notation is awackward for example instead of using octave lines in the treble making it necessary to figure out the notes. Much less expensive than Urtext without explanations which can be accessed on YouTube. The binding is tight but can be easily proper open. ... show more

    • Done Beautifully!
Format: Paperback
The notes are really easy to read and the fingerings are also very nice with my hands. I highly recommend to anyone who is willing to play Beethoven's Sonatas but the movement might be half way down the page sometimes and just be careful that you don't turn the page wit too much forceas t could rip. I've been looking for a piece book that's cheap and I only got this for six dollars and it was a great deal! ... show more
