About

We are delighted to announce the release of the much anticipated Volume 6 ‘Moonlight’ from Martin Roscoe’s complete Beethoven Sonata series.

Composed by a young Beethoven at the age of twelve, these early piano masterpieces perfectly illustrate the daringness and originality of the young composer.

Piano Sonata in C sharp minor, ‘Moonlight’ is the most famous work of Beethoven’s piano works. Martin Roscoe notes how ground-breaking it is with the composer’s choice of key – C sharp minor was hardly ever used by composers, and secondly the opening with an Adagio slow triplet movement to produce a hypnotic calm while the funereal dotted rhythm of the main theme evokes the feeling of tragedy. Producer Mike George adds that the F minor sonata is probably the most interesting and forward-thinking of Beethoven’s early sonatas, also featured in this collection.

Reviews

May 2017

[Roscoe favours] clear textures, astute voice-leading, balance and symmetry, discreet use of the pedal and a kind of Classical reserve that contrast with more combative, confrontational interpretations…listeners whose internal Beethoven sonata barometers read ‘intimate’ rather than ‘cosmic’ will respond to the stature and high standards of Roscoe’s artistry
