Product Overview
Published by Santorella. Sonata in C Major, Opus 53, or the Waldstein, was composed by 1804 and published in 1805 by the Bureau des Arts et d'Industrie. This work is dedicated to Count von Waldstein, one of Beethoven’s most important influences and early financial supporters. His gratitude to Count von Waldstein is quite apparent in this piece. Beethoven expanded the limits of the sonata form in this, the first truly grand sonata. Not one to cater to neither the amateur nor the professional, Beethoven created a superior, technically challenging sonata. We believe you’ll enjoy this “Complete Original” Masterpiece. This Santorella Publication includes a performance CD recorded by the very talented Concert Pianist, Craig Stevens.
