Piano Sonata, Op. 10 No. 1

This popular sonata prompted Beethoven to write two pieces as possible third movements before the finale. Ultimately, the composer decided to retain a three-movement form and the two additions were discarded. This edition is the first to include a critical edition of the sonata, together with the two abandoned pieces (WoO 52 53). The publisher notes, "This publication is not intended to be played as a sonata with four or even five movements. It could, however, be considered as a suggestion for the conceptual design of a piano recital that features the original three-movement version of the sonata as well as the two piano pieces."
