Santorella Edition - Beethoven Sonata C Op53, or the 'Waldstein', was composed by 1804 & published in 1805 by the Bureau des Arts et d'Industrie. This work is dedicated to Count von Waldstein, one ofBeethoven's most important influences & early financial supporters. Not one to cater to the amateur nor the professional, Beethoven created, in this composition, a superior, technically challenging sonata. Includes a performance CD.
