The new edition "Sonatas for Piano" by Ludwig van Beethoven is the result of combined research based on authentic sources of revision as well as the experience of international practice in concerts and the already established academic teaching.

All existing material has been subjected to examination and comparison with the authentic manuscripts (as many of them have survived), with the first as well as with the more recent significant editions.

The graphic presentation of this new edition was adopted from a practical point of view, and the general layout of the musical text follows the writing style of the manuscripts and the first editions.

The playing technique includes a revised fingering system, while Beethoven's original fingerings appear in italics.

The Sonatas included in this second volume are:

• 16th Sonata: G Major - Op.31, No 1 (1801-1802)
• 17th Sonata: D minor - Op.31, No 2 (1801-1802)
• 18th Sonata: E Major
